Reviews for Metal Jewelry Workshop: Essential Tools, Easy-to-Learn Techniques, and 12 Projects for the Beginning Jewelry Artist

A great book for beginners with plenty of good information and projects for more experienced metalworkers. As a novice, I found the information and instructions in this book very helpful. There are lots of photos and explanation of techniques, tools, and materials to guide me through the projects, and handy reference information that would make this book good to refer back to. Lots of cool projects too! I would definitely recommend this book for those starting out in metalworking or wanting to brush up their skills. --April Gray, Bookseller Barnes and Noble A great book for the crafty in your life. --Janet Cousineau The Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre The photography and illustrations are well done and support the instructions well. --Nonstop Reader
