Great addition to your Metal Clay Library

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
CeCe has produced another wonderful read. Like most books on Metal Clay she begins with an overview of product, techniques, tools etc. As someone who has worked with clay for a number of years now I often find this tedious, however this time I didn't. Why? simply because there were a couple of techniques new to me ( Setting stones in Sheet Clay, Slip Dip Setting ) and the top quarter page in this section is devoted to a gallery of glorious creations by a plethora of names, a veritable who's who of Silver Clay are featured, better still, the vast majority of images are new.
CeCe moves forward to create 25 diverse projects, each concentrating on a specific skill. They are creative, such as using silver mesh wire to create the foundation for an enamel plique-a-jour pin, there is wonderful use of the diversity of the clays - both silver and gold, slab, sheet and paste.
Earrings, pendants, pins, rings and brooches - all covered in some wonderful designs that are achievable. As in her previous book, the projects are limited to a finished photo and written instructions, there are no step by step photos which may cause some people concern, especially if you are a visual and not verbal learner, just as the use of language - 1st, 2nd and next generation clay (clearly explained at the start) rather than brand type may also cause you to pause. I actually like this explanation. Overall another wonderful book to add to your Metal Clay Library.

A Must Have

I'm fairly new to PMC but buy a lot of books about something I'm interested in. This book is fabulous for all levels of experience...thorough descriptions of all the types and brands of clay, many techniques, and many gallery pieces to learn from. Far and away the best I've seen. Don't pass this up.

For a second book, I found this new one by Cece Wire to be a step above the last one. The basics are addressed well for anyone who is just starting with metal clay. I even found some tips and ideas that were new to me and I've been working with metal clay for 6 years! Chapter 3 is well done and is a good dictionary of working with metal clay. The step by step photos for gem and stone setting are excellent. A few things are added that might have been better left out because they are not addressed enough, i.e. Kum Boo and Enameling.But there are other books to go into more depth.
The photo gallery at the top of many of the pages is inspirational! This has always been a plus of Cece's two books, the glamor shots are great!
The selection of projects are different enough from what has been already published, that there is lots of new and exciting things to make. Most of them are appropriate for beginner and intermediate metal clay artists. The one major fault I have with this book is the same as the last one. While the projects are described step by step, there are not step by step photos. If you are a visual person like me, the explanation is good to read to fully understand the process, but until I SEE how it should look at each stage, I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly! My students agree. Maybe the publisher wanted to keep the number of color photos limited, but I'd rather see a smaller glamor shot and photos at crucial points in the instructions.
All in all, this is a good book to add to your library!
