MARCATO Atlas 150 Pasta Machine
This is the pasta machine I use! Clay runs through super smoothly. Works great for blending colors of clay and has 9 different thickness settings.

Sculpey Clay Blades 3 Set Pack
These are my go-to clay blades. Comes with a stiff, flexible and wavy blade. Stiff blades are great for all-purpose cutting. Flexible is good for making curved cuts. The handles make it easier to cut larger chunks of clay without pinching your fingers.

Acrylic Roller and Tiny Hole Cutter Set
An acrylic roller is essential for polymer clay artist. Great for fine tuning and smoothing out texture in clay. An alternative to a pasta machine if you’re not ready to purchase one. Occasionally, I still use it to subtly exert pressure or level the sides of a cane before it’s thin enough to fit into a pasta machine. A Tiny Hole Cutter is what I use to make clean holes for jewelry making without distorting the clay.

Translucent Liquid Sculpey:
Translucent Liquid Sculpey is great for creating multi-layered effects you see in gemstones and for image transfers. You can also use it to condition clay, bond pieces of clay together, seal media or use as a glaze (just be sure to bake to cure it).

Clear Liquid Sculpey:
Clear Liquid Sculpey is one of the clearest liquid clays available. You can use it to create glass-like objects and encase things as if it were resin. As with most clays, you can also use it to seal media, laminate paper and condition clay.
