The students will need the following: 
* Sculpy or Fimo clay in a variety of colors, I suggest two packets for some of the colors: several kinds of green, white, brown, orange, yellow, red, blue. Any other color that students prefer. 
* Soft wire: 16 to 20 gauge is good. 
* Jewelry wire cutters that are safe and easy to use. 
* Masking tape
* Basic clay tools. In the absence of the tools, a toothpick, or a large plastic sewing needle will work for most things.  

Optional - 
*Mica powder (the shine that you see on my sculpture is done with mica powder).

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have about the materials. 

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

The younger learners may require parental assistance making the clay more malleable. We will also be using wire, soft aluminum wire is best, gauge 18 or 16. The students may require assistance cutting the wire, though if the wire is soft enough and the wire clippers are safe to use, they should be able to complete that independently. At the end of the lesson, once our garden is complete, the learners will need assistance with the use the oven in order to bake the completed project. 

For this class it is important that we all begin at the same time. If, for any reason, the learner will be delayed by more than 10-15 minutes, please reach out and we can arrange a make up class after the session is finished. 

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 degrees), and is stated on the clay box or wrapper.
