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

if thats the look you want i would dig out at least 200mm lay 100mm type 1 mot lay your edges (RSJ :p ) and lay the paviours as setts on a semi dry bed and consolidate every one to a string line then romex it all but if you going to this much trouble buy some setts instead
