NICOLA HURST
Nothing is more gratifying than receiving a compliment on a piece of handmade jewelry. However, many regard making jewelry as being too difficult and tedious. This book shows how, after mastering only a few basic techniques, crafting even the most complicated jewelry pieces becomes an easy task. Readers will learn to use techniques such as soldering, texturing, and enameling on wood, acrylic, glass, precious stones, and more. Detailed instructions and illustrations accompany each project, and designs are flexible enough to be modified. Professional jeweler, Jinks McGrath, explains how to optimise minimal workspace with suggestions for home workshop designs. She also reviews the necessary tools to begin and the larger equipment to buy as skills develop.
