The tools and supplies for this class are really basic and super flexible:

Tools

• Something to pull stringer with – I like to use a pliers, you use what ever you are used to.

• You will also need a flat metal tool do adjust fine details (like Corina's magic wand, a Sersich shaper, or even just the back end of a tweezers). I'll call it a “cold metal tool” for many techniques in this class, even a butter knife will work. I use a Hornik shaper made by Amnon Elbaz.

• Of course, you'll likely want your favorite marvers and tools as well. 

Glass

 Glass for making base beads

• When practicing stringer work, any glass will do for your base bead as long as you can still see the stringer you're working with 

• For heart bead, you can use any base color that's compatible with your other color choices and stringer color(s). I will use white glass, it's an easy way to show off any color and fine black lines.

 Glass for encasing

• I use both clear and pale transparent colors to encase base glass. Consider using transparent colors on white or to enhance other base colors. For instance, I love using Effetre rose quartz over bubblegum pink to get a really nice pink base color. 

 Glass for stringer practice

• I use a saturated black for my stringer work (Reichenbach deep black #9203). I encourage you to use any color you are comfortable with and you think looks great. For stringer practice, I strongly encourage you to use any color at all, especially if it is inexpensive, from your left over “shorts”, or just a color you have extra of. 

 Glass for end caps and fine lines

• I suggest a well saturated color for fine line stringer work. I use Reichenbach deep black #9203 but any saturated black you prefer to work with will work too. Be sure to explore a variety of colors.

• You might consider secondary accent stringer colors. I often use white stringer to accent my work, almost any color you enjoy will work as long as it's compatible.
