Description

In Metal Clay 101 for Beaders, Kristal Wick uses step-by-step photos to teach readers how to use copper, silver and bronze metal clay to create simple customised embellishments and findings to perfectly match beaded jewellery. Beaders will learn how to form and fire the three predominant kinds of metal clay. The techniques presented include sculpting, moulding, adding inclusions, creating texture, polishing and applying patinas. Wick provides in-depth instructions on using metal clay to shape beads, spacers, charms, links, toggles, bead caps, cones and more. Finally, Wick presents 30 attractive, inspiring projects that combine metal clay components with gorgeous beads.
