Discover Torch Enameling: Get Started with 25 Sure-Fire Jewelry Projects

After teaching this technique successfully for years, Steven is introducing all-new projects in this book. In a series of 25 small projects (pendants and beads), Steven will explore creating structural metal work (such as hinges) and applying enamel effects such as faux raku. Simple techniques include sawing/cutting/punching; dapping; riveting; lashing; soldering; and enameling. All these techniques are simplified and the only torch needed is a hand-held one that can be used in a home studio.

As a high school art teacher and professional designer and jewelry instructor Steven James brings years of experience to his book.
