Anyway...
My hobby that I have not been able to do since high school is throwing. (clay not balls, think Ghost)

For me the wheel I want I have seen for ~$1000
Clay well your always using it but I would say $10-20 for a 20lb bag (this may be an overestimate depending on quality)
Glazes: This is the big one I would say since I want a wide range of colors but to get started $100

Now for the real big ticket item...THE KILN!

The kind I want is a full size one that several people could stand in, they cost big money and I have yet to price one. (gas)

A smaller one that would work for the time being $1000-2000 (electric)

This list does not include the mixer for the glazes, any tools I would need to design the pieces.

This hobby will cost me a pretty penny one day, for now I have to wait until I have a house and just look at all my old pieces and hope I haven't lost my touch.
