Clays

Walkers earthenware slip initially bought in a bottle.  I now mix it myself with some assistance.  This is very cost effective.  A Podmore blunger makes it possible. Walkers supplies all the technical advice you need

Glazes

Walkers Earthenware clear
​underglazest
Decals -Commercial
​Decals - Laser printed in the studio

Molds

I use plaster molds mostly bought from eBay.  I don't use belts I use rubber bands. They are easier to use and don't damage the molds

Tools

Lots of clean water
lots of paintbrushes 
a range of sponges
fettling knife (metal)
​fettling knife  (plastic)
