I absolutely LOVE this book. The photos, instructions, etc. are A+. I am so glad I start reading reviews since I have bought so many books before that I THOUGHT were going to be instructional, but weren't.

GREAT BOOK February 20, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

This is a really good book to get you started on the Art of Metal Clay. I'm very impressed with its contents and thank the artist for being so detailed and sharing so much information. Because of this I feel confident to proceed with this craft. Haab includes much text and good photos explaining the process to achieve numerous results. From product info, how to make molds, texturing,kiln time and alternatives,incorporating resins and polymer clay, she covers it all and does a good job. Also keeps in mind the beginning artist and the cost factor offering suggestions to curb the expense while still achieving great results. This is a book worth its weight and a good resource to work from.

Great Addition to My Collection January 10, 2007

This is a nice concise book on Precious Metal Clay. A good addition to anyone's collection of books on technique. I would have enjoyed more information about torch firing. The author gives you one page on technique and a small section on which clays respond to torch firing. I would have liked samples and more about weight and times. Still, I recommend this book for it's clean easy to follow style and great photos demonstrating the steps involved in these projects.

Sherri has produced an excellent book that will appeal to all levels of Silver Clay users. Not limiting to one brand, I found that useful with the firing charts etc. She covers carving, setting stones, textures, rings, boxes and beads beautifully together with working with molds. I did like her taste of using other media with your PMC, i.e. Resin, Polymer, Glass together with using Gold Clay. Excellent descriptive instructions, great photos of the how to steps and completed piece. I have three Silver Clay books I recommend to my students, this is one of them ( the other two: CeCe Wire and Tim McCreight's). Well worth buying.

I have been researching, trying and creating with pmc for a year now and found this book to be very informative. This book gives you details about most aspects of silver clay. The projects show all the various ways of using silver clay's.
