Ceramic Jewellery by Joy Bosworth

An essential guide to making ceramic jewellery from sourcing or creating fittings and findings, combining other materials and avoiding potential design issues. Ceramic jewellery is an ever-growing area of the ceramic world. Although ceramic beads have been around for as long as pots have, the idea of ceramic jewellery has been making a comeback in a much more glamorous and professional form than ever before. This book shows you how ceramic can be combined with other materials such as silver, gold, feathers, leather, textiles or stone to create some unique and innovative pieces. It teaches you how to source or create your own fittings and findings, common design problems and the practicalities of joining the various elements to create a successful piece. The book is well illustrated both with practical images and beautiful photos of finished work from an international range of artists.
Hot off the press, this book gives all the essential information to make ceramic jewellery plus an attractive colourful gallery of work by international artists* Craftsman Magazine (July 2010) *
