Which Greek god was said to fashion Pandora’s body from clay?

Hephaestus was said to fashion Pandora’s body from clay in the Greek myth.

Hephaestus is the divine smith and craftsman of Greek mythology, so creating a figure from earth or clay fits his traditional role. In Hesiod’s account, Zeus commands him to make Pandora as part of the punishment imposed on humanity after Prometheus’s theft of fire. Other gods then contribute attributes, ornaments, or qualities.

The myth is not a simple account of one god creating every part of Pandora. Hephaestus performs the physical crafting, while other divine figures help prepare her for her role. Hephaestus is also associated with famous divine objects, including armor and weapons for other gods and heroes. His Roman counterpart is Vulcan, but Vulcan is not the Greek name requested here.
