Metal Clay Jewelry: Projects. Techniques. Inspirations. Paperback – August 8, 2006

This book is full of great designs, however- I would not recommend this book for any self taught student. One can be self taught and not have to spend $300+ on a teacher telling you what you can learn on your own. Metal clay is NOT a hard product to learn. There are too many books on the market that read the same and have the same information on metal clay. My advise, free tutorials on the net are the best way to learn. Not only are the books on the market the same on metal clay, but do all of the authors have to word their instructions on every single move that their hands make? In conclusion, this book is good for the basics of metal clay and to make the designs in the book only. You can incorporta your own ideas after learning the way to execute a design. Purchase one or two great books on metal clay and leave it at that.

This is a wonderful new metal clay book. Anyone interested in metal clay fabrication should buy this book for their metal clay library. It is a must have. The projects are really beautiful. Louise and all the contributors present projects that are unique and well explained. The projects show the great development that has happened in metal clay fabrication in recent years.I especially found the "Silver Nuggets" (tips) to be insightful and of great help.

Very helpful.

True inspiring and awesome works of metal clay are really INSIDE the book. This book shows techniques and design options not found in others(I have three other books by three different artists and authors). Many exquisite projects and a definite recommend for the metal clay enthusiast!

Interesting

Excellent book. Will enjoy reading until the end.

Good ideas for jewelry and some fun projects. I, as well as friends who have borrowed it, have liked it very much.

Great project beautiful and informative

Great book for techniques but not too keen on the quality of a lot of the projects - but I suppose the quality of what we produces depends on our imagination and skill level - but a good book.

A perfect book for the complete beginner. Very well written and comprehensive explaining clearly and easily the process of making silver jewellery in this way. It has a complete run down of what you need, how to start, different techniques and ideas.It has everything to start a new interest, or career!!

Nice book, a lots of ideas, well described even for beginners.

Simple easy to follow instructions, with varied ideas

Good for beginners
