lay terram over the excavated ground, lay 150mm crushed concrete or type one, compacted to levels.
Then lay the clay pavers on a mortar bed,(3-1 soft sand+ cement) jointing them as you go.
Hugely time consuming, but your brickie should be able to cope

For a pedestrian Patio 100mm of sub base is more than enough,
