Magical Metal Clay Jewellery by Sue Heaser

 

This book is gorgeous and so comprehensive.  It goes over all the basic techniques, materials and equipment you need; then takes you through some really lovely projects that I’m just itching to try out!  It shows you how to make moulds to make things like key charms or cufflinks.  There are projects related to bead making and then a section on filigree and embellishments.   Whilst the whole point of this book is to show you how to make silver jewellery without a kiln, there is a section right at the end that goes into kiln techniques using a table top jewellery kiln, as well as appropriate projects.

The projects are presented in a clear manner, with lists of materials and equipment, photographic illustration of all the various steps, as well as informative, clear text instructions.   There are handy tips and tricks featured throughout the book and the final section is a gallery of stunning jewellery made by professional jewellers.
