Jewellery artists have the unique ability to bend perception, push limits, and redefine wearable art. Personal adornment is a broad, diverse, and limitless craft. Original, inventive, and artistically designed–this is what makes great jewellery. We all create objects that speak volumes about our innermost feelings and thoughts. To create work that speaks louder than words, though, you need a foundation, which is why this book is in your hands. The Jeweler’s Studio Handbook teaches you the core techniques, introduces you to the materials, and hands you the tools needed to flourish in the jewelry-making studio. In these pages you will tour the artisan studio, inside and out, learning along the way how to express yourself through the tactile, versatile, and ancient craft of making metal jewellery. Illustrating everything from drill bits to silversmith’s hammers and onward to scores of nontraditional materials, the pages of this book are rich, hardworking, & inspiring.
