Metal clay plus more, more, more!
* Follow-up to the best-selling Art of Metal Clay
* Author has sold more than two million books!
* Metal clay is hot with crafters, artists--anyone who wants to try alchemy
Metal clay starts as clay and turns into metal. Does it get any more magical? Now it does--with Metal Clay and Mixed Media. Author Sherri Haab takes this compelling material, today’s hottest craft item, to the next level, brilliantly combining it with other media ranging from the timeless to the unexpected. Ribbons, gold leaf, pottery shards, transparent resin, polymer clay, leather, and more are used in stunning jewelry, decorative pieces, and works of art. Beautiful photography showcases these innovative pieces, and full step-by-step instructions make it easy to re-create them. New formulations of metal clay and newly developed firing techniques are presented clearly so that crafters can achieve professional results. Sophisticated enough for artists yet simple enough for beginners, Metal Clay and Mixed Media is the only book that blends metal clay with mixed media to make magic.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Book -
I am a certified PMC artisan and teach PMC. I have been working with polymer clay for years. This book is great. I love how she shows how to integrate all the different media such as polymer clay, resin, enamel, colored pencils and gesso [!] with PMC. I love learning all the techniques and also like the projects. If you are into PMC, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

PMC mxed media -
This is a great book for the intermediate and advanced artisan. This book further explains how to incorporate new media into PMC designs. This is a great book. I highly recommend this book if you want to have endless possibilities of artistic expression with PMC.
Great Service! -
The product was shipped very quickly and it was exactly as advertised. Very pleased would order again.
Really well written and explained. -
Like a lot of beaders, I've been facinated by the silver and gold clays for a while now. Also like a lot of beaders, I don't have regular access to a kiln. This book is about making jewelry using clay like PMC, PMC + , PMC3 and art clay.
Author Sherri Haab has written a lot of wonderful books on techniques and different mediums to make jewelry in, like her wonderful The Art of Resin Jewelry. This book is as detailed and as good as I've come to expect of her books.
It starts with an overview of the clay types, firing methods, and instructions for finishing pieces,it explains the kiln types, and what will work best for the sort of piece you are making.
After you know the clays, tools and methods, there are a lot of projects. The projects are varied and inspiring. A wide range from simple pieces made with clay, to pieces that mix the clay with other mediums like polymer clay, enamel, resin and even concrete and cement!
The detail in it is great, color photos and examples that illustrate very clearly how to do everything, including the best and easiest instructions I've ever seen for torch firing the metal clays. It defines the steps to start with the wet clay and end with a lovely piece of jewelry, and the descriptions of the clays are complete, firing times, the strength and shrinkage you can expect.
I was very impressed with the book, the layout is logical, the projects are lovely and the explanations are clear enough that I went out and bought a torch this weekend. I feel very secure now trying these wonderful clays and plan to make necklaces with my children this weekend.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Informative, Creative, Fun -
This book is terrific for the masses! People who want to make mixed media jewelry with PMC, but don't want complicated and intricate stuff will be thrilled with it. Of course, one can go further with these techniques into much more detail-oriented jewelry, but these projects are the perfect jumping off point for anyone to try. The instructions are complete and precise, and the photographs are helpful and clear. Sherri Habb is a wonderful artist with an excellent knack for teaching, which all of her books have proven. Every one of them is very highly recommended!
