Product Description

Product Description
This is a complete course in designing and making jewellery. Carefully structured tutorials guide you through every stage of the process, revealing how to translate inspired ideas into workable, wearable designs, and you'll find professional advice on presenting and selling your work. Learn about tools, equipment and safe working practices; how to build an inspirations file; select suitable materials and transfer your designs; work with precious and semi-precious stones, metals, glass, plastic, resin and wood. Clear, step-by-step photographs demonstrate all the techniques you will need, at-a-glance panels explain the effect that different techniques have on a variety of metals, and practical exercises provide guidance in tricky skills - with ideas for trying these out on inexpensive substitutes before using your chosen materials.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute essential for all fledgling jewellery makers, 22 Oct 2008
Whilst the "Search Inside" option gave some indication as to the quality of this book, I was blown away by the sheer depth of information and guidance.

The book is split down into 34 units with 6 practical projects that cross reference with the techniques taught. The units take you through the complete process, from finding inspiration, evaluating & translating ideas through to transferring patterns, piercing, annealing, soldering, filing and many much more. Everything is laid out in an uncluttered fashion with lots of photos so you can be sure you are following correctly whilst the text is written at just the right level - neither patronizing or too advanced.

I must confess I am only a beginner so cannot really comment on what it offers those slightly more advanced, however it does seem to have so much information that even once my confidence and skill grows I'll still be referring back to this.

A beautiful, informative book that I would highly recommend to all would-be jewellery designers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gain confidence with jewellery making, 15 Nov 2008
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
With its attractive cover, I know you will pick this book up off the bookshop shelf if you are the least bit interested in jewellery making. From design ideas and inspiration, this book aims to take the jewellery maker through the whole process from start to finish. Comprehensive chapters include setting up a studio, materials, tools and techniques. Although it covers some of the same area as Elizabeth Olver's book Jewellery Making Techniques, the two books do not overlap too much and complement one another perfectly. The projects are laid out in easy to follow steps and the finished samples and steps are clearly photographed. You could easily use it as a week by week course. This practical book will be very useful to all jewellery makers. It's great value for money. This book would have been more rounded and complete if it had included more sources of inspiration and a good sources listing, however it does mention just a few magazines, books and website.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!!!, 8 May 2008
By J. Washbrook (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This isn't so much a book as a labour of love. Beautifully presented, extremely clear photographs, high quality paper. It remains to be seen whether it can teach me how to make jewellery - if it can't that'll be down to me - but in any case it is a lovely book to own.
