Where do I begin, there are not enough words to describe this book. This is the best book on Wire Work by a British Author. Like the previous reviewer said it is not for a beginner as you will need to know the basics such as wire wrapping. However, don't be put off as the book is divided into 3 sections - Beginner, Intermediate and Advance. If you want to take your Wire Working skills to another level then this is the book for you, the designs are just fab! I have been making jewellery for 4 years but decided to start from the Beginner chapter as I just want to create the beautiful designs.
Another reason I like this book is the fact that you can change the designs to suit your style which is what I have done with the lariat necklace I am currently working. Loads of my fellow designers have bought this book, the Author now has a facebook page where people are free to leave messages and share their versions in the album page. For those new to Wire Work I will suggest any book by Linda Jones, very easy to master and will get you on the road to using and understanding Abby Hook's designs.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been making jewellery for several years but had decided that I wanted to specialise in one particular skill and selected Wirework. I have purchased several books from Amazon on both jewellery in general and some more basic Wirework books but then I cam across this and was thrilled. It was exactly what I had been looking for to take my craft to the next level. Well planned out projects, clear photographs and some stunning and very adaptable designs. I would recommend however having some basic knowledge of working with wire before buying this book as it focuses on projects at a more advanced level.

Big fan of Abby Hook, view her work on Etsy and you'll see why. What a great book - lots of absolutely stunning designs from easy through to highly detailed. I wouldn't say you have to have too much knowledge to get it - it does take you through the basic things like wrapping a briolette etc - if you got stuck a bit on turning loops and wrapping them then you only need a quick browse at YouTube so its a pretty good place to start and contains so much inspiration, it will see you through! Thank you Abby, I can't wait till your next book!

Glad I bought this one
Some very pretty and inspired projects. Am pleased to own the book. I need more practice before i can tackle most of these but then it did say it was a Masterclass and so it is.
