The Encyclopedia of Wire Jewelry Techniques shows how to manipulate wire with a wide range of techniques to create structural pieces of jewelry.
Learn or brush up on the basic wire-working techniques, followed by more complex skills such as creating decorative shapes, links, and chains that can be incorporated into your wirework.
Discover how wires can be knitted, crocheted, wrapped around stones and beads and used as the structure that will hold beads together. The first chapter concentrates on techniques that can be
achieved with simple tools, than the second focuses on aspects of silversmithing: fusing, soldering, and healing wire, with tools that can be used in the home.
Clear explanations and photography will guide you through each stage of the techniques, and The Encyclopedia of Wire Jewelry Techniques will become an invaluable bookshelf resource whether you
are an amateur or professional jewelry maker.
