I thought the introductory information on tools and techniques was a good, though brief, overview of basics that you need to know when working with metal clay. The projects look interesting and doable, but in reading through the step-by-step instructions, I realized that basic illustrations or smaller detail photos would have helped tremendously! I still don't understand how the Domino Theory earrings (p 76) came to be two-toned! Is there a step that is missing? The photos of other artist work i I thought the introductory information on tools and techniques was a good, though brief, overview of basics that you need to know when working with metal clay.

The photos of other artist work is very inspiring and professionally crafted - hard to believe that it's metal clay!

This isn't the best choice for a beginner. This book is best for a somewhat experienced silver smith or metal clay user who wants to know which new materials and techniques are available. It has pretty bare-bones info, without details or troubleshooting. Some of the listed projects would be easier to replicate using traditional fabrication techniques than using metal clay, and others are too advanced for most to finish.
