JET PENS  www.jetpens.com

They have the Zig Pens. I like Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro and use the Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro Pen Refill - Super Fine - Black: Sadly these pens are not waterproof. Let me know if you find a source for a waterproof version of this pen as the nib is very flexible.

Faber-Castell Grip 2001 Pencil with rubber tip.

Recommendations from students:

​

Espresso Coffee Tamper: Suitable to make grinder for pigments (Recommended by Jackie Olson):

"It was a recommendation on the web from someone making their own gesso. At $19, this one costs less than half of the usual muller prices. There were also suggestions to find a glass object that had a perfectly flat bottom, like a glass or other knick-knack, maybe at thrift stores. It needs to be sturdy enough to put pressure on the glass plate."
