 | Metal Clay and Mixed Media Jewellery
by Sherri Haab
Publisher Watson Guptill
Edition Paperback
Metal clay starts as clay and turns into metal. Author Sherri Haab takes this compelling material, today's hottest craft item, to the next level, brilliantly combining it with other media ranging from the timeless to the unexpected. Ribbons, gold leaf, pottery shards, transparent resin, polymer clay, leather, and more are used in stunning jewellery, decorative pieces, and works of art. Beautiful photography showcases these innovative pieces, and full step-by-step instructions make it easy to re-create them. New formulations of metal clay and newly developed firing techniques are presented clearly so that crafters can achieve professional results. Sophisticated enough for artists yet simple enough for beginners.
