Kitiki sells top-qualty tools: work sheets, rollers, spacers, knives, shapers, pliers, cutters, files, mandrels, ring guages, triblets, pin vices, mini-drills, drill bits, brushes, abrasives, and other small hand tools. They've been chosen for their engineering excellence and clean functionality, helping you to make desirable jewellery.

You'll enjoy using good tools rather than continually improvising. They'll help you manage a creative and efficient work environment. And they'll last a long time.

This page is a summary of the tools that we use in The Kitiki Studio and during courses. However, to learn more, look at the different sections, using the links above and below the menu bar.
Kitiki is an internet brochure, catalogue, and shop. The The Art Clay Tools Catalogue is a list that you can print out to help you order, or to remind you what to ask when you call.

If you're working at home, in a studio, or for a business, you need a clean work area set aside for Art Clay. The simplest solution is to use easy-to-clean clear acrylic work sheets, which you can pick up and move around without having to put away your work-in-progress.

In addition, you'll probably need some of the following: a teflon non-stick sheet, some non-stick paper, a clear acrylic roller, three different pairs of clear acrylic thickness guides, a clear acrylic rolling block, a black rubber work sheet, a black rubber work block, and a black acrylic finishing sheet.

Although you can get started with a kitchen knife, garage pliers, cocktail sticks, and finger-nail emery boards, there's no substitute for good tools: tools designed to do things accurately, easily, and comfortably.

Modelling knives use surgical blades, so are very sharp. A selection of rubber-tipped clay shapers, soft brushes, scribers, and fine files make it easier to create and refine shapes. And, if you want to make rings, you'll need a mandrel, ring guage, triblet, and nylon-headed hammer.

Art Clay can be fired in a kiln, on a kitchen gas hob, on a camping gaz ring, or with a butane torch. Whichever you choose, you'll probably need some of the following: a kiln, kiln shelves, shelf posts, kiln paper, a metal firing gauze, a gas torch, ceramic fibre blocks, ceramic fibre cloths, vermiculite, safety glasses, and a fire extinguisher.

A selection of jewellery pliers and cutters, a mini-drill with rotary accessories, and some pin-sharp drill bits soon become indispenable. A tweezer-magnifier makes it much easier to set stones accurately.

Although you can get a first-class finish using a wire brush, wet and dry abrasives, metal polish, polishing cloths, and burnishers, an electric tumbler achieves an all-over even lustre whilst you do something else.

For schools, colleges, universities, resellers, retailers, catalogues, ceramic cafes, or teachers for Art Clay level 1, Art Clay level 2, or PMC, there are lower prices for Art Clay, Accent Gold, kilns, tools, and materials. To order, you don't need to set up an account: just mail or call.
