Because it is too dense to bounce.No; clay isn't extraordinarily dense, and many other, more dense, materials do bounce. Clay doesn't bounce because it has no elasticity. When it hits a surface, it deforms (as do all materials), but it doesn't bounce back. It stays deformed. Clay is a plastic material. That doesn't mean "derived from oil" but it means that it doesn't recover from deformation; it stays deformed. That's why clay is such a good medium for sculpture. It's easy to mold.
