• Non-Precious Jewellery

  By Kathie Murphy

  This will be a highly illustrated how-to-do-it book. There are very few such books specifically covering non-precious material techniques yet, but there has been a recent increase in the creative use of non-precious materials in jewellery-making.Using a step-by-step approach, this book will be an easy and accessible, but thorough, introduction to non-precious materials and techniques.Examples of appropriate techniques for each material will be featured as making sequences, alongside showcased pieces from contemporary jewellers in different materials. There will also be a final section that will consolidate various techniques and show the thought processes and material considerations for creating a finished piece. Materials covered will include: rubber, silicone latex, plastics, resin, PVC, polypropylene, acrylic, cellulose acetate, nylon, wood, fibre, felt, cloth, paper, stone, metal, steel, aluminium, tin, copper, electroforming, feathers, leather, bone, ceramic, cork, Formica, buttons and other everyday objects.Techniques to be covered include: cutting/piercing, laser cutting, joining/fixing, gluing, drilling, colouring/dyeing, heat forming, casting, scoring and bending, laminating, vacuum forming, electroplating, finished, knitting/knotting, blocking and shaping, origami, flocking, beading and embossing. Projects will include necklaces, bangles, brooches and earrings.
