Never mind, I thought you meant .
Ive made clay bricks back in boy scouts. If thats what your talking about, we built a kiln and fired them. I wouldnt say they were great bricks but it made a grill out of them
Nope but that would be my top choice to build an off-grid solid structure
And by off-grid I mean, really off-grid, like it's even difficult to bring anything heavy "up there"

Neat - thanks
I know it's the great little car that's made out of clay.
There’s Adobe, compressed stabilized earth block, wattle and daub, rammed earth… so many more. each has advantages and applications. What are you wanting to build?
Maybe just a small shed to start. Perhaps a small house in the long term
VERY common in New Mexico and SE Colorado. Several farmers around me have adobe structures on their land. They're pretty bad ass structures. The farmer who hosts my churches annual skeet shooting event has a small campground on his property, and the lodges are all made of adobe. Very sturdy, and cool in the summer. I have no idea what building codes are involved with them, or how you'd handle plumbing and electrical, but from the strict standpoint of a building made of it, I would build a house out of one where I live in a heartbeat with it.
I have. The video below is not mine, but I have done something with similar results from scratch many times before...
