Great PMC book for advanced users November 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been using PMC for 5 years, teaching for two,and have had the great pleasure of studying with Tim McCreight and a couple of the artists featured in this book. What a treasure this book is! Several of the very best PMC artists each write a chapter about an advanced PMC skill that is one of their specialties. Each chapter gives you so many ideas to use for your own exploration, because the chapters are not step-by-step projects to slavishly copy. I plan to sit down this winter with this book and just play, based on some of the ideas presented. Another great book by Tim McCreight's Brynmorgen Press. With so many new books on PMC coming out these days, how do you choose? If you've got the basics down and want to be pushed in your use of PMC, give this book a look.

Fabulous Inspiration with Detailed Techniques! March 4, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

As a miniaturist, I've worked with sculpting clay for many years, and PMC is a newly discovered joy for me! Being uneducated in the formal jewelry-making field of expertise, it's all a big play-pen for me, and I have been desperately searching for artist-quality inspirations, and that is what I found in this Luscious book on metal clay artisan styles! Not only am I able to learn techniques, but there are masterful photographs and detailed directions on subject matter that I have never seen before....such as HINGES! Kudos to the Author, and to all of the extraordinarily talented artists who share their tricks of the trade! Perhaps this wouldn't be the best book for a beginning artisan, but even for me, with very limited experience with PMC and metal clays, I have found a TREASURE of KNOWLEDGE in this book! Blessed & Inspired! Deanne

A great technical book February 20, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book has some interesting and different techniques some of which I haven't seen before. I'm really keen to try making a bead core and then doing a flamework bead over the top.

I prefer books with clear photographs to show techniques and this one has mainly sketches. But they are clear and it's easy to follow.

This book is clearly aimed at more experienced metal clay users which is fine with me.
