Editorial Reviews

KLIATT
Clay that turns into silver or gold; how cool is that? The book presents an overview of basic materials and techniques, including new formulations of metal clay and firing techniques. The step-by-step directions and photographs are absolutely stunning! The written directions are clear and concise. The projects that utilize wire crochet are especially well written and illustrated. The book is divided into four sections: Metal Clay Essentials, Creative Connections, Metal Clay & Support or Bezel and Color, Image and Surface Design. It is also interesting to see such a wide variety of other objects incorporated with the metal clay, such as ribbons, pottery shards, transparent resin, leather, and gold leaf, to create gorgeous pieces of art. A list of suppliers is included at the end of the book. Sherri Haab is the author of The Art of Metal Clay and an award-winning author, illustrator and product designer of how-to books for children. This book will surely inspire both experienced artists and beginners alike.
