3.0 out of 5 stars Good for introductory workings with metal and crafts., 26 Jun 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Textile Techniques in Metal: For Jewellers, Textile Artists and Sculptors (Hardcover)

The descriptions of what types of metals are best to use and the list of suppliers are worth the purchase price. There are basic instructions in everything from knitting to weaving to bobbin lace. A beginner crafter will appreciate the instructions and find a very useful book. As an experienced worker with nearly all the textile techniques in the book, I found the inspiration to branch into metalwork and some exciting project ideas. However, I felt a lot of the book was wasted, because the metal techniques are not difficult to master for someone familar with the corresponding yarn craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspires new creative ideas and works, 3 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Textile Techniques in Metal: For Jewellers, Textile Artists and Sculptors (Hardcover)

An excellent guide inspiring ideas for both metal sculpture and jewelry. A beautiful, as well as a thoughtful presentation of textile history and techniques adapted for use with metals. The photographs are elegant and eloquent in the information that they alone convey. A remarkable book useful to both students of jewelry techniques and to masters of metal work. Five Stars to Arline Fisch!

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant book, 22 Feb 2007

By	Crysalis "lover of books" (Dorset, uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Textile Techniques in Metal: For Jewellers, Textile Artists and Sculptors (Hardcover)

This is one of the books that shows you what could be possible.
When you think of metal wire the concept of flow and softness seem incompadable.
This book shows you how much is possible with diffrent textile techniques, including knitting, weaving, basketry, and crochet.
by not restricting her subject matter to one type of art form, Arline Fischit, show that any one can pick up this book and adapt it or find inspiration for their own type of art form, from jewellers to sculptures.
