Synopsis

This unique collection gathers the experience of a dozen leaders of fine metalsmithing, each writing about a technique of special expertise. From techniques as ancient as granulation and depletion gilding, to the latest word in foldforming and anticlastic raising, "Metals Technic" is a valuable addition to the literature of jewelrymaking.

About this title

From the Publisher:

In a time when books increasingly address only the widest possible audience, Metals Technic offers a genuine alternative from the look-alike volumes of introductory level craftwork. In its pages, a dozen masters hold forth on topics of their particular expertise, cutting immediately to the information that distinguishes their work.

From the Author:

Because I am aware of the tremendous value of the research and experience of masters in the field of metalworking, and because I know how easy it will be to lose this hard-won information, I am especially pleased to have gathered this information into a book. It was a challenge to make the presentation live up to the high stature of the contributors, a challenge that pushed the design and production to a superior level.
