Synopsis
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 techniques such as moulding resins.
