CH2 Tools to Get Started! The following list are the tools that will be needed or will be helpful for the projects in this book. Keep in mind it is not necessary to buy everything on this list at first when completing the projects in this book.

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.
