Things that are good to have:

There is a lot of stuff on this list.  You definitely need some of your own tools. You probably want the sand paper.  You need a respirator. And you need plaster to make molds.  The rest of the stuff depends on how much you like to work on your own, how much you will be doing in the future, etc... 


The Clay Shop

Mud Tools!   I like a couple of yellow and green with a variety of corner shapes. http://www.theceramicshop.com/store/category/11/203/Ribs/Rubber/

Brushes-these are nice to have, any selection will do

A rubber finger tool! I can't make a mold or build anything without it.
