Sculpting and Shaping Tools-
These tools are for sculpting the clay into finer details and creating special effects.
Rolling Pins-
You will need something to roll out your clay, this is especially helpful for flattening the clay out evenly. An acrylic roller is best, it is easier to clean than wood.
Rubber Mallet-
This is mainly used in the rubber mallet method to condition the clay by placing it in a Ziplock bag and smacking the clay. A mallet is only needed if the clay is too hard for your hands or a pasta machine.
