The Art and Craft of Jewellery

by Janet Fitch

Published 25 September 1992
Around the world designers have turned their attention from costly precious jewellery to aesthetic and inspiring pieces that can be produced at a low cost using materials such as wood, paper, base metal and cloth. As a result, creating jewellery is no longer the preserve of the professional and does not necessitate an elaborate workshop. This book is a practical guide to this fashionable craft, giving a grounding in basic methods such as stringing beads, as well as building the reader's skills by introducing more complex technqiues such as moulding resins.
