Book Description
Creating with Precious Metal Clay offers in-depth discussion about Precious Metal Clay (PMC), along with over 200 color and black & white photographs. This book is divided into two sections. The first half gives all the information you need to work with PMC. The entire process is explained, including the types of PMC, tools, techniques, firing, and finishing. The second half includes 15 in-depth projects that allow hands-on experience. Some of the techniques taught include joining, texturing, draping, layering, three-dimensional hollow forms, such as beads and vessels, setting stones before firing and afer firing, making bezels, carving, cutwork, and forming and shaping rings and bracelets. A special section about using PMC with fired ceramic glazes is also included. After learning the methods in this book you will be able to design and create your own pieces in your own special style!
