Description
Create professional-looking metal jewellery and accessories without the need for silversmithing tools or training, thanks to this comprehensive guide to working with precious metal clay. Metal clay is a versatile material that can be modelled, fired, and transformed into pure metal, making it a popular choice among jewellery makers and hobbyists alike. With minimal equipment needed, you can get started right away. This book focuses on silver clay, which can be fired without a kiln, using a small blow torch, gas hob, or camping gas. In just five minutes, the clay becomes pure 999 silver that can be hallmarked. Twenty gorgeous projects are showcased in detail, featuring a range of items such as pendants, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, charms, and rings. The book also covers advanced techniques, including embellishment methods like setting stones, gilding, and enamelling with resin.
