A
growing number of the 500,000 beaders in the U.S. are deciding to
go beyond simple stringing and bead crafting into the realm of more
sophisticated metal jewelry. The techniques are simple, the tools
affordable, and the space requirements small – a kitchen table will
do. Getting Started Making Metal Jewelry is the ideal introduction.
Master teacher Mark Lareau offers practical advice on equipping
a home workshop, and demystifies such basics as cutting, soldering,
buffing, stamping, and wirework. Along the way, he gives step-by-step
instructions for metalwork projects designed to help the reader
build skills while creating beautiful designs. Pendants, earrings,
bracelets, rings, and chains in styles from contemporary and funky
to classic and elegant are presented, and the reader is encouraged
to expand her own creativity and personal style.
