Jewelry Lab Experiments Investigations Explorations

I still recomend the book just want folks to know it requires a lot of know how and thoought to actually make many of the pieces. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I think this is a terrific resource book packed with lots and lots of techniques, so I'm giving it four stars.

What other items do customers buy after viewing this item?

I would have given it five stars, but for one criticism: There aren't enough pictures in the step-by-step portion of the chapters. Oftentimes all you get is a picture of the completed jewelry piece, an excellent description of how to make it, and either one picture to demonstrate the process or sometimes no images at all. This makes it a very poor resource for beginners. However, it is excellent for intermediate to advanced jewelry artists in the mixed-media field with some experience. The book provides a very good overview of many, many techniques, so I think it is worth purchasing.

I would like to address the criticism one reviewer made; she said she bought the kindle version of this book and it is all in black and white. Well, I also purchased the kindle version of this book and it is NOT produced in black and white. You can view it in full color on your iPhone or other smart phone, computer, nook, etc. All eBooks viewed on a kindle device will appear in black and white, with photos showing up in shades of gray. I produced three eBooks myself the Arty Jewelry series , each of them featuring hundreds of full-color photos.

They appear in full color on every device except the kindle. So it is unfair and inaccurate to say that the kindle version of Jewelry Lab is in black and white. I have never been so excited to recieve a book than I was to recieve this one. As I sat and looked at the book, I wondered if I could do these techniques. They looked a little complicated. The very next day I broke this book out and, went shopping for some things I didn't have, came home and experimented. They were easy to follow. The directions were perfect and not hard at all. I'd bought another jewelry technique book that had more techniques in them but a lot harder to follow and in fact, you had no idea where to start.

Not so with this book. It got me excited about taking my jewelry craft to the next level. You wont be dissappointed.

Covers many techniques but none in depth. OK if you just want an overview of what is possible but do not need to learn the technique. I found this book very useful and inspiring.

It's probably best for opening up your mind to t he possibilities when working with metals, not necessarily thorough instructions as it speeds through a lot of techniques. Never the less, I was inspired to create a few unique techniques and am very happy with the book! This book revealed so many techniques for making jewelry and made it look simple. I gave this book to a dear friend, but I hope together we will try some of the ideas in the book. Also, pictures and lots of pictures tend to help me and this book had lots!

I host a Playday meeting monthly at my studio so it was seen by artists and they ALL loved it. They loved everything about it. Their range of expertise ranges from beginner to expert and they all found something to talk positively about. It is, in my opinion, a really comprehensive discussion and learning instrument for artists of all levels. I'm sure there will be several fans from my group purchasing this excellent book.
