Silver Clay Workshop: Getting Started in Silver Clay Jewellery

I recently discovered metal clay and although I'm a proficient crafter, I did not have a lot of success with my first attempt. I was trying far to complicated of a design and never even made it to the drying phase. I have since been looking for books to gain the knowledge I need to try again. I wish I had purchased this book first. I purchased a much more thorough book which I love, but realize that it quickly moves past beginner levels and I found myself in over my head again. This book was suggested by Amazon a few days later and I purchased it on a whim. While I still haven't had a chance to work with the clay again, this time I feel fully prepared for what's to come. This book is highly educational while not burdening you with little tidbits of information that will help after you become proficient but seem to overwhelm in the meantime. This books also gives quality beginner designs that I actually want to make and gives great suggestions on how to enter the hobby relatively cheaply.

Lot's of great photos

I really appreciated the clear, concise and logical manner in which the content was laid out. As a complete beginner in this area, I found it contained a wealth of information, with sufficient detail to embark with some confidence on my first projects.

For a beginner to silver clay work, this book provided a very well organised introduction to the craft. The initial photographs are superb and truly inspirational. The basic techniques, including clear descriptions of the materials necessary for each project are well explained and the additional photographs are a bonus as references to what the work should look like. This book is suitable not just for beginners, who might start with project 1 difficulty ratings work, but also for much more experienced silver clay workers who will be inspired by projects in the 2&3 difficulty ratings. The step by step instructions are clear and extremely helpful throughout. All round, this book is excellent value for money.
