In Greek mythology, which deity shaped Pandora from earth?

In Greek mythology, Hephaestus shaped Pandora from earth.

Hesiod describes Zeus ordering Hephaestus, the divine smith and craftsman, to form Pandora’s body. The story presents her creation as a coordinated work by several gods, with different deities contributing qualities or gifts. Hephaestus’s role reflects his traditional identity as the maker of divine objects and armor.

Pandora’s name means “all-gifted” or “all-giving,” because the gods collectively supplied her with attributes. Athena taught her crafts, while other gods contributed charms and abilities in later details of the tradition. Hermes gave her a deceptive or persuasive character in Hesiod’s account.

The myth is not a story about Hephaestus inventing the jar itself. His specific role is the fashioning of Pandora, often compared to a sculptor creating a human figure from clay or earth.
