Nether bricks are from a firey dimension, so use them to make a new furnace known as the kiln. They would make sense for fire brick lining a kiln in real life, so make a recipe of 8 nether brick blocks for a kiln. The kiln would smelt items at the same speed as a blast furnace. It would be used to fire clay-related items, bricks and smoothing stones.
New terracotta could include large tiles (like polished stone), small tiles (like purpur blocks), large bricks (like stone bricks), small bricks (like regular bricks), shingles, chiseled and pillars. Terracotta, glazed, tile, brick, and shingle variants would have stairs/slabs/walls, and also bricks, nether bricks, and all terracotta variants would have a blast resistance of 12 (twice that of cobbles) and would withstand creeper explosions, but could still be destroyed by TNT.
A new block called the clay molding table could have textures of different tools on each side, would function similar to a stonecutter, but for unsmelted clay blocks. 1 Wall could be remodeled into 1 block, 1 stair into 1 block, 2 slabs into 1 block, and 1 full block back into clay. The GUI would have an input slot, a selection list, an output slot, a remodeling input slot, and a remodeling output slot for reverting unfired clay back into regular clay blocks. You could cut it into any of these variants before firing in a kiln:
Stairs
Slab
Wall
Large Tile (Stairs/Slabs/Walls)
Small Tile (Stairs/Slabs/Walls)
Large Bricks (Stairs/Slabs/Walls)
Small Brick (Stairs/Slabs/Walls)
Shingles (Stairs/Slabs/Walls
Chiseled
Pillar
When you put it in the kiln along with fuel, after 5 seconds, you get the terracotta variant for whatever variant you modeled the clay into. This could then be crafted with dye to paint it or any stair/slab/wall/full block could be fired again in the kiln to get a glazed stair/slab/wall/block, depending on what you put in the kiln.
Recipes for the kiln listed below:
Clay into brick
Any clay block from modeling table to terracotta variants
Sand into glass
Netherrack into nether brick
Stone to smooth stone
(Cut/Chiseled) (Red) Sandstone into smooth sandstone
I think the total number of items you have there is a little overkill. I would stick to just slabs, stairs, walls, chiseled, and perhaps small bricks for standard, uncolored Terracotta. The others don't really match typical Terracotta aesthetics. The Terracotta Bricks probably should be a little more squarish than normal Bricks, and the Chiseled Terracotta likely should either have a honeycomb texture or diamond texture (look up pics of Terracotta Walls to see why). These could easily be implemented into the Stonecutter, so I don't see the need for a separate set of mechanics/blocks for converting it.
As for the kiln itself, needing to go to the Nether to obtain materials for an item which essentially does the same thing as the Smoker and Blast Furnace seems a little steep, considering neither of them require Nether materials to make. I think just crafting a Furnace with four Terracotta is a fair cost for this item.

Otherwise, very good idea. +1
I think regular stairs/slabs/walls, bricks and stairs/slabs/walls, tiles (ceramic tiles do exist in real life), and stairs/slabs/walls, pillar and chiseled. Here are some texture examples in the next reply.

The new recipe type would be called "firing."
