Student kit
Artisan package includes this kit. Students may bring their own if it matches the jobs. Do not wait for a surprise materials fee — amounts are on the price page.
Clay (Premo)
| Color | Amount | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Black | 4 oz | The field, veins, wrap. Do not skimp. |
| White | 2 oz | Margin ticks, value |
| Cadmium Orange | 2 oz | Monarch cells (Track A) |
| Cadmium or Zinc Yellow | 2 oz | Eye core (Track B) |
| Wasabi / Bright Green | 2 oz | Lime eye ring — acid, not forest |
| Translucent | 2 oz (4 oz if 02/03) | Thin slices, sheen in the wrap |
| Optional: pearl or gold | 1 oz | Hairline only — never the core |
| Optional: teal | 2 oz | Peacock wrap if you finish early in 02 |
Do not bring sulfur clays next to Premo. Leftover Kato is instructor control stock, not a student requirement.

Colors textbook
If you are in Colors, you leave with the schematic manual (plates I–VI). Keep clay off the engraved faces. The book is the take-home for that class.
Laminated deck
You leave with twenty cards: six inspiration markers from her jewelry, then every step through On the Wing, plus the bake card. Keep one step face-up on the tile when you practice. The deck is included — do not buy it as extra kit.
Bake & safety
We bake at polymer-clay manufacturer temperature (typically 275°F / 135°C). No food ovens. If you are scent-sensitive, say so before class — we vent. Blades stay on the table, not in a pocket.
