Pottery was in South America as early as the end of the 2nd millennium BCE and is still seen a lot in all of the South American countries. Encyclopedia Britannica has an excellent article on the pottery of South America. A lot of the pottery is molded in shapes of people or animals. They were also very useful items.

There are many options that you can use for clay. Look for clay, modeling clay, or even playdoh at a local store such as a hobby store, a dollar store, or any store that carries art and craft materials. Online shopping would also be an option. The cheapest option may be to make a salt dough that will dry hard from ingredients in your kitchen!
