The students will need the following: 
* Sculpy or Fimo clay in a variety of colors, colors are subjective, and it is up to each learner what color they want to use for their creation. 
* Armature wire/soft aluminum wire, up to 16-18 gauge. 
* Jewelry wire cutters that are safe and easy to use. 
* Basic clay tools. In the absence of the tools, a toothpick, or a large plastic sewing needle will work for most things.  


I am happy to provide links or photos of the materials upon request.

Younger learners may require parental assistance making the clay more malleable. We will also be using wire, soft aluminum wire is best. The students may require assistance cutting the wire, depending on their age and ability. At the end of the lesson, once our gnome is complete, the learners will need assistance with the use the oven in order to bake the completed project. 

Note to parents, please be sure to follow instructions when baking the clay. The temperatures for this kind of clay is often quite low (around 250-275 degrees), and is stated on the clay box or wrapper.
