Both books provide a basic starter list of tools needed. This is my attempt to combine the two.
- Clay - PMC3 or Art Clay 650 seem to the most basic all around choices
- Work surface - plastic, laminate, teflon, tempered glass, marble, acrylic
- Lubricant - olive oil (not just any oil, just olive) or Badger Balm
- Small spray bottle
- Distilled water, white vinegar
- Lightweight plastic or plexiglass roller
- Playing cards
- Craft knife or parring knife
- Clay shaper
- Paint brushes - (winsor & newton 233 university size 3 or 4, variety of pointed and flat brushes sizes 0-6
- Plastic ruler
- mat cutting blades or tissue blades
- needle tool or round toothpicks
- plastic straws
- plastic wrap
- craft cookie style cutters, clay cutters, Klay Kutters
- plastic templates
- texturizing tools
- metal spatula
- empty syringes
- small cups and containers, some with lids
- paper towels, baby wipes
- pencils, permanent markers

- graph paper, transparent graph ruler
- pin vise
- carving tools
- hand-held torch
- electric programmable kiln with furniture

Not exactly a small list!
Luckily for me we already own a handheld torch. Although that is not the long term plan I would want, it will do for now.
