A Jewelry worker review of Jewelry Making Techniques for Metal
A really engaging jewelry how to book for the novice or professional. While dated it offers advice and tips that almost any jewelry worker will find extremely useful. A book that you will find yourself going back to time after time to reread. I have been a fan of Mr. McCreight for many years and own several of his books. This one stays at the top of the stack.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
