In addition to the tools and materials listed below you will need the following household items :

• a small amount of oil and a paintbrush for making your moulds (I use olive oil but any culinary oil works well)

• optional saran wrap/cling film to reseal any clay you aren’t using

• deionised/distilled water to rehydrate dry/cracking clay

• For torch firing you’ll need a timer (the one on your smartphone is perfect)

• Fresh water for quenching

• Scissors for cutting out your bail template
