Baxter is an Instructor for Art Metal and Jewelry at the Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D.C. This book is written primarily for the student and home craftsman who is interested in metal craft, jewelry making, and gem cutting. It is based upon methods used by the author in teaching high school students.The photographs of the various objects illustrated are of student work, with the exception of those showing the work of Mr. Mardirosian, a professional of New York City. Many of the pieces of jewelry shown are the work of beginners-boys and girls- who in many instances had been working at the art only a short time. Their work is used for illustrative purposes so that others interested in the work can see what high school students, amateurs, have accomplished. Photographs of a number of the pieces of jewelry have appeared in the Home Workshop Department of the Popular Science Monthly, illustrating articles of jewelry making.
