Dalla quarta di copertina

Following on from the author's successful title Tips and Shortcuts for Jewellery Making, this book presents an overview of the core jewellery-making techniques but providing easier and often cheaper alternative solutions for achieving the same results as traditional techniques. Each chapter is packed with unique (and money-saving) ideas such as reusing previously-worked metals and making your own silver solder from offcuts, identifying potential crisis-points in a project and ways to avoid costly mistakes, instructions for adapting and making your own problem-solving tools and jigs from everyday items, and other clever solutions. The cheapest and easiest methods for each technique are explained, and where possible the author covers methods for working on textiles at home, without expensive equipment. Practical and in a step-by-step format, tools and working techniques fully explained and illustrated.
