The jeweler's art
"Approaching jewelry-making as a beginner can be intimidating...Alice Sprintzen makes it seem possible and worth the task of trying. Her approach is simple. She introduces her readers to the qualities that make jewelry attractive and workable. Illustrations of the jewelry produced by well-known American craftspersons enhance the explanations of method, material and construction....The range of media include not only metal but clay, paper, leather, fiber and glass. Except for metal jewelry construction, the process for making it in most materials requires no complex materials or tools."-- Arts & Activities .
