Metal Clay Hand Tools

Once you have your metal clay and a way to fire it, you just need some inexpensive hand tools.

Roller: In order to roll the clay out, you’ll need a roller. I used a piece of PVC approximately 6 inches long and about an inch in diameter.

Clear Plastic: You will want to roll your clay on a clean surface. A piece of clear vellum (available at most office supply stores) works well.

Graph Paper: Slip this under the clear plastic. The lines on the paper help you line up and cut squarely.
