Product Description

Product Description

Featuring a wide variety of cold-join techniques from the commonly used to the amazingly new, this beautiful handbook is the first on cold connections and combines the art of jewelry making with modern craft assemblage, which metal workers can use to spark creativity and look at their craft in new, innovative ways. Proving everyday found objects—staples, rivets, fibers, resins—can be used to make beautiful jewelry, sculpture, or mixed media, this guide explains how to craft original works with just about anything. Each chapter offers a new technique with a different attaching method along with descriptive sketches showing the connecting layers. This handy crafter’s resource showcases a gallery of 23 top jewelry artists and offers insights, philosophies, and techniques as well as pages of creative musings and stunning photos of marionettes and jewelry.

4.0 out of 5 stars wild and wonder-full, Aug 7 2009
By F. Freeman (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i have been making jewellery for a while now out of various stuff, but not wanting to bite the bullet and buy torches, so this book was very interesting to me. This is not a totally torchless book - metal is annealed, soldered and beads are drawn, but if you too are still hesitating about investing in gas torches, this book will give you a lot of techniques to move forward with cold metal. You get a lot here - much information clearly presented, (you can tell the author has done much teaching); It is a beautiful book - a rich visual treat quite unlike your average craft book; finally the author presents the work of many other artists for our inspiration. And now it's an easier price for the impoverished artist..!

4.0 out of 5 stars A jeweler's version of "bits and bites", Jun 6 2009
By Much Mirth (Vancouver Island, BC) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for a solid book on how to join metal, glass, plastic, and fiber using wire, hardware, prongs, rivets, and numerous other substances and techniques to create jewelry then this is it. This book is stuffed with very good and detailed instructions, nicely illustrated sketches that are understandable, and appropriate, useable tips for construction of jewelry that will be one of a kind and original. It will be up to you as to just how wearable the piece will end up! Some of these metal bits are not appropriate for bracelets because they make too much noise clanking together!
