Art Clay Silver & Gold
18 Unique Jewelry Pieces to Make in a Day
By Jackie Truty
“Because the 18 projects have been designed by a group of talented silver clay practitioners, you’ll find a wide variety of tastes and styles that will appeal to almost any hobbyist.”
Although the material used for the projects in this beautiful, informative, and inspiring book is Art Clay Silver, you can make the projects with any brand of metal clay. Because the 18 projects have been designed by a group of talented silver clay practitioners, you’ll find a wide variety of tastes and styles that will appeal to almost any hobbyist. Each project is clearly illustrated with numerous how-to photos and all are labeled as to skill level. You’ll learn how to make rings, create hollow forms, set stones in bezels or prong settings, create two-part molds, attach findings elegantly, sculpt with metal clay, and use patinas; and all the various preparations of metal clay are covered.
Perhaps the best thing about this book, however, is the four introductory chapters. These cover all the basics of tools, materials, clays, alternative firing techniques, and fixing mistakes at any stage of the process. Whether you’re an experienced clayer or a beginner , you’ll return to that information over and over.
