There are very few books currently covering mixed media jewellery, and
this book provides a thorough and comprehensive introduction to all the
materials and techniques you need to get you started in this exciting
area of jewellery making. Designed like a 'tasting menu', this book
will help beginner jewellers learn and adapt a wide range of techniques
and skills to various types of materials through a series of making
sequences, and learn how to incorporate these within their own designs.
Materials covered include: tinplate and metal leaf, wood and
pigment, metals and pigment, paper with metal, found objects, fabric
and pigment, polymer clay and fibres, felt, wire, etc. The making
sequences include sixteen projects using mixed media methods. In the
final section are interviews with makers who share their knowledge and
experience with the reader.
