Overview

This is by far the most attractive volume on ceramic bead-making anywhere. The 30 colourful jewellery projects are wonderfully simple and will be loved by crafters. Crafters will eagerly snap it up to learn how they can create a variety of striking projects using low-fire clay and a rainbow of colourful glazes. The basic techniques include hand-rolling, cutting, stamping, press-molding and extruding, as well as surface embellishment. Nothing says love more than the flirty urban-hip ring with a metal clay arrow shot through the heart. A bohemian chic big-bead necklace mimics the look of traditional majolica and rivals any pricey boutique find. Charming photography captures the colours and textures of a festive outdoor market, making every page playful, fun and accessible.

Reviews

Heynen's work is known for its color and whimsy, and her projects are much along these same lines. Some are full of wonderful, bright color combinations, and others are a mix of earthy tones. I found this book to speak to those jewelry designers who want to really do something different and possibly more challenging when it comes to creating jewelry.
