An excellent book! -
This is a very well-written book! I wanted to learn enameling on metal clay but couldn't spend the money to take a class. I took a chance on this book, hoping it would be informative and easy to follow. It is, indeed. I have already bought the enameling equipment she recommends and just finished enameling my first piece.

There are lots of pictures and her instructions are clear and easy to understand. If you want to learn how to enamel on metal clay, this is the right book to order.

More Basics -
This book is another metal clay basics book. I got some good ideas like how to remove an enamel screwup, but overall the projects were a little too basic to be appealling.

Great information, tips and techniques -
Enameling On Metal Clay gives specific information on combining two complicated arts/crafts, metal clay (fine silver) and enameling. Plenty of books tackle one or the other, but not both. Her set up info for enameling is great for beginners as is her tip for removing enamel from disappointing pieces. The projects are good, but I found the info in the first part of the book--including which enamel colors do not work on fine silver--more necessary. Strict beginners for either or both mediums might be advised to get some of the learning curve (in other words, gain experience through practice) before tackling this book.

Super great reference A+++! -
This is probobaly one of the best books on working with metal clay that I have seen yet. Pam covers working with metal clay AND enameling very well. There is enough information to answer most questions and the visuals leave no doubt what she is talking about. Tools, supplies and equipment are covered even to the point of how to program the Orton controller used on most metal clay kilns! While a lot of her insturctions in working with metal clay are geared to the ultimate goal of enameling, they provide a solid basic guide even if you never add enamels!

Then there is the section on enameling projects. There are just enough projects to teach you each of the methods for enameling effectively on metal clay silver. Pam's project instructions are complete in that each one covers how to the make the metal clay base and then how to add the enamel to it. The step by step photos are a boon for someone working on their own without an instructor nearby. The notes and tip boxes mixed in help to explain those details and questions that may arise out of the project.

Pam rounds out the book with enamel troubleshooting, resources for materials and supplies and a Gallery of inspriational artwork. The only sad note is that she has since closed her enamel supply company, Pinzart, so now I'll have to find my materials somewhere else!

I have searched many books on enameling that are very good, but they don't cover enameling on metal clay silver as well as this one. If you want to enamel on metal clay, get this book FIRST...you may not need any other book!

Great projects, step-by-step -
I love the way this book really breaks down all the steps and makes it easy to create the projects. The metal clay is a blast to work with for even a beginner like me and adding colored enamel is the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this book - even if you've never done anything like this before. You can DO this!
