Synopsis:
When you combine two bestselling topics like metal clay and beading and then add one of the most talented and respected artists in the business, you ve got a winning combination. In this unique, comprehensive reference, Barbara Becker Simon treats readers to 22 outstanding metal clay bead projects. An introductory section guides them through all the fundamentals, from forming and joining the clay to firing and finishing. Crafters learn how to add gemstones, glass and other objects; use moulded and carved texture plates; etch photographs into a surface; develop rich patinas and more. From the Porcupine Pearl Bead to a Polygon Box Bead, the projects are both timely and sophisticated.
About the Author: Barbara Becker has been a jeweller for over 35 years and lampwork/bead artist since 1996. She has a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Metalwork from the University of Wisconsin and has taught at several universities.
