Riassunto

This is a highly illustrated how-to-do-it book. There are very few such
books specifically covering non-precious material techniques, but there
has been a recent increase in the creative use of non-precious
materials in jewellery-making. Using a step-by-step approach, this book
is an easy and accessible, but thorough, introduction to non-precious
materials and techniques. Examples of appropriate techniques for each
material are featured as making sequences, alongside showcased pieces
from contemporary jewellers in different materials. Throughout are
suggestions for taking the techniques further and developing original
designs, and there is a final section of design briefs, which will show
you how to complete a project. Materials covered include: rubber,
resin, polypropylene, acrylic, cellulose acetate, nylon, wood, fibre,
felt, cloth, paper, stone, titanium, steel, aluminium, tin, copper,
leather, brass and bone. Techniques to be covered include:
cutting/piercing, laser cutting, joining/fixing, gluing, drilling,
colouring/dyeing, heat forming, casting, scoring and bending,
laminating, vacuum forming, electroplating, finished,
knitting/knotting, blocking and shaping, origami, flocking, beading and
embossing. Projects will include necklaces, bangles, brooches and
earrings.
