Working With Precious Metal Clay

Working with Precious Metal Clay is the first American book for artists and hobbyists who want to know more about this exciting new art material. Techniques are taught through 50 projects of increasing complexity, projects that range from earrings to rings to accessories like a thimble, spoon and tea strainer. A large section called Technical Tips offers practical information on working, firing and finishing PMC, and a final chapter on tools shows some studio aids you can make for yourself. "Working with PMC" features over 400 full color illustrations that lead artists systematically through the steps needed to make personal and exciting work.

Tim McCreight has been working with PMC since it was first introduced to the US in 1994. As a consultant to the manufacturer he has studied with the scientists who invented PMC and leading artists as they pioneer uses of this radical new material. McCreight's years of teaching experience and signature lighthanded touch are evident on every page. He has written 10 other books on metalworking and is a consultant to numerous organizations and periodicals.
