Customer Reviews

Ideal for someone who has experience in jewellery making and likes to experiment
I had high hopes for this book and it turned out not to disappoint. Its loaded with fabulous ideas and although its aimed at a reasonably sophisticated level of jewellery making, it doesn't skimp on the basic information you need as a first time user of metal clay. Ideal for someone who likes experimenting with different media and who has experience in jewellery making - so doesn't want designs that are too simple - but hasn't used metal clay before.
