The bestselling The Art of Metal Clay returns—revised and expanded to highlight the latest developments in this exciting medium!

‧ the new bronze and copper clays, with must-have instructions for successful firing
‧ up-to-date, detailed information on firing with stones
‧ an improved method for calculating accurate ring sizes
‧ two recently developed techniques for etching metal clay
‧ new techniques for adding color, including working with pigments and enamels
‧ all-new, inspiring galleries of work by prominent metal clay artists
