Metal clay is the most exciting new material in jewellery design today: the procedures for moulding and shaping are simple, the tools few and the results stunning. CeCe Wire, a leader in the field, details all the newest innovations and clays, as well as the basics for beginners. She includes every form and formula, plus an extensive array of cutting-edge techniques that range from stone-setting to surface embellishment.
