The first chapter gives a good introduction to PMC, tools, a brief overview of techniques, firing and finishing the piece. All essential information for a PMC novice, but if you have any experience with PMC you would already know this information. This is followed by projects with specific instructions. The instructions would be very clear for someone who has experience working with PMC, but I'm not sure how clear they would be to a beginner. Most of the examples of the projects are not very attractive, but the author shows an interesting combo of techniques including fused glass and enamel with PMC. An experienced PMC artist would probably not do the projects as shown, but could get good ideas about incorporating the featured techniques into their own work. There are lots of beautiful photos by various artists for inspiration (without instructions)- and they show the wide variety of looks that can be achieved with PMC. It would have been nice to have fewer specific projects and more information about how and why the different techniques work with PMC.
