May 19	Button Workshop with Judy Anderson Supply list Clay – white is a good choice because you can paint it. With several colors you can marble the clay or mix colors. I prefer Sculpey over Fimo, but there is little difference. Both can be bought at Wal-Mart, Michaels and I believe JoAnn’s. Cutting tools – exacto knife, or razor blade I have a clay cutter. Sculpting tools or shaping tools. Anything from a tooth pick to a bobby pin. You really don’t need to run out and buy anything special. Stamps Rolling tools – I use a piece of PVC pipe, but you an use a dowel or a regular rolling pin Some people use a pasta machine to get pieces all the same depth and to condition the clay. Work surface – glass or ceramic tile. Acrylic paint – if you want to paint the buttons. A toaster oven I will be bringing on and Kathy Young will be bringing a second oven. Parchment paper. I will have a roll to share.
