clay beads

I am interested in mass producing clay beads for jewelry. But I am not sure
what I would need to do this.

The beads would be in the size 6mm, 8mm, 10mm

I think that I would like to do press molds then tumble the finished
product. This would allow me to using mason stains to create a marbleized
affect.

Any help?
Best Regards

You can make a die for an extruder with a hollow center. Extrude the clay
tube and wait until it sets to leather hard. Cut... you can make different
lengths... then fire and tumble.
