    Book Description

    Developed in Japan in the early 1990s, metal clay represents a dramatic development in the handling of precious metals for jewelrymaking. Metal clay consists of microscopic particles of silver or gold suspended in a pliable organic binder that can be worked with the hands and simple household tools, eliminating the need for difficult metalworking processes such as soldering, hammering, and cutting. When metal clay is fired, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse into pure (99.9 percent) metal. The Art of Metal Clay is a comprehensive introduction to the medium designed specifically for crafters and jewelrymakers, detailing the essentials of working, firing, and finishing metal clay to create beautiful jewelry and decorative objects. Artist and instructor Sherri Haab demonstrates metal clay's remarkable versatility, showing how it can be textured, molded, carved, and sculpted to create gorgeous beads, bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings, and other jewelry settings, plus boxes and vessels. She also reveals how to combine metal clay with polymer clay, glass, and epoxy resin to create unique mixed-media pieces. An essential resource for anyone who wants the latest information on this up-and-coming crafts medium!

    5 out of 5 stars Essential for the metal clay artist.......2007-09-25

    Sherri divides her book into two parts; an excellent way to present metal clay to those who are not experienced with it. In the first part, "Metal Clay Essentials," she carefully explains how to work with metal clay, emphasizing the need to keep the clay moist because the tiny amount of binder in metal clay evaporates quickly. She recommends the use of Badger Balm® or olive oil on your hands to help in maintaining metal clay's moisture.

    Her excellent firing chart shows temperatures and times required in the kiln for the two main metal clay brands, Precious Metal Clay® (PMC) and Art Clay®, the various types of clay they offer, and the amount of shrinkage to be expected. Another chart shows the strength of the clay after it is fired. Some artists may shy away from metal clay, worrying about its cost, but Sherri assures that every scrap and dust particle can be re-hydrated or be used to make slip.

    The book's second part, "Metal Clay Techniques," has really fun projects to copy or to inspire. A beaded bracelet has metal clay charms shaped like peas-in-a-pod, a strawberry, a ladybug, a pumpkin, and a flower. Sherri shows how to use cork clay or a drinking straw over which to form beads. When fired, the cork clay or straw burns away, leaving only the precious metal. My favorite project is an artichoke bead made from metal clay formed over teardrop-shaped pieces of cork clay. The basic book is a handy reference tool after taking a class but if you can't take a class for some reason, for $3.00 more, an instructional DVD is included.

    We are proud of the purchase. The magazine is full of techniques and examples for creaing jewelry.

    Thanks

    5 out of 5 stars The Art of Metal Clay (with DVD): Techniques for Creating Jewelry and Decorative Objects.......2007-08-13

    I enjoyed the DVD. It is well done. With no knowledge on doing metal clay you learn so much. I feel confident that I can do some nice and beautiful pieces of jewelry. Need a kiln. I recommend the book.

    5 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for anyone.......2007-08-09

    I absolutely LOVE this book. The photos, instructions, etc. are A+. I am so glad I start reading reviews since I have bought so many books before that I THOUGHT were going to be instructional, but weren't.

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK.......2007-02-21

    This is a really good book to get you started on the Art of Metal Clay. I'm very impressed with its contents and thank the artist for being so detailed and sharing so much information. Because of this I feel confident to proceed with this craft. Haab includes much text and good photos explaining the process to achieve numerous results. From product info, how to make molds, texturing,kiln time and alternatives,incorporating resins and polymer clay, she covers it all and does a good job. Also keeps in mind the beginning artist and the cost factor offering suggestions to curb the expense while still achieving great results. This is a book worth its weight and a good resource to work from.

      Book Description

      The first general texts on clay mineralogy and the practical applications of clay, written by R.E. Grim, were published some 40-50 years ago. Since then, a vast literature has accumulated but this information is scattered and not always accessible.



      The Handbook of Clay Science aims at assembling the scattered literature on the varied and diverse aspects that make up the discipline of clay science. The topics covered range from the fundamental structures (including textures) and properties of clays and clay minerals, through their environmental, health and industrial applications, to their analysis and characterization by modern instrumental techniques. Also included are the clay-microbe interaction, layered double hydroxides, zeolites, cement hydrates, genesis of clay minerals as well as the history and teaching of clay science. No modern book in the English language is available that is as comprehensive and wide-ranging in coverage as the Handbook of Clay Science.



      In providing a critical and up-to-date assessment of the accumulated information, this will serve as the first point of entry into the literature for both newcomers and graduate students, while for research scientists, university teachers, industrial chemists, and environmental engineers the book will become a standard reference text.

      * Presents contributions from 66 authors from 18 different countries who have come together to produce the most comprehensive modern handbook on clay science
      * Provides up-to-date concepts, properties, and reactivity of clays and clay minerals in a one-stop source of information
      * Covers classical and new environmental, industrial, and health applications of clays, as well as the instrumental techniques for clay mineral analysis
      * Combines geology, mineralogy, crystallography with physics, geotechnology, and soil mechanics together with inorganic, organic, physical, and colloid chemistry for a truly multidisciplinary approach

            Book Description

            This monograph presents the fundamentals of the mineralogy and geology of clays. The chemical or isotopic composition and the crystalline structure of clays is based on some relatively simple laws. Abundant illustrations help to understand the subject and can be used in courses. The organization of the book follows a logical structure. From the representation of the structure of minerals, the determination of their crystalline state by using X-ray diffractometer measurements (and other techniques) the thermodynamic and kinematic conditions of their formation is reconstructed. Then the genesis and alteration of the clays at their natural occurrences is discussed. In the last chapter it is stressed that clay minerals can form in variety of different environments: meteorites, lavas, subduction zones for example. The book is aimed for graduate students and scientists (geologists, geographers, engineers, environmental and soil scientists) who want to get a comprehensive introduction in the topic.

                The book covers diverse areas about clay minerals and describe very clrarly how to identify their structure using X-ray diffraction. The book is written in an ordered way, very easy to understand, allowing quick use. This subject is very interesting, because new worldwide researched technologies, nano-technologies, are dealing with clay minerals. although the book was written at 1980, I greatly recommand it. New books about this subject are not available, and other books are much less detailed and friendly to the reader.

                      On the Hebridean island of Bruach, life among the crofters is as happy and full of humour as ever. Beckwith tells enchanting tales about the islanders' wit, their canny resourcefulness and their gossipy interest in outsiders. There is Flora and the fancy dress dance, beachcombing, whelk gathering, Highland cattle and a stag - among many other characters and animals. Based on Beckwith's own experiences.

                      I devour Lillian Beckwith books. They are so low-key and humorous--and worth reading again and again. How she ever found the wonderful characters of Bruach I don't know. I notice her books have been republished. May a new generation discover their delightful characters and life in the Hebrides in the 1940s.

                      Book Description

                      When women are asked to name the one thing they would like to change about their faces, most of them say, "the wrinkles." But according to Neal Schultz, one of Park Avenue's top dermatologists for the past 25 years, it's color and texture issues, not wrinkles, that cause most of them dissatisfaction with their skin. That's why It's Not Just About Wrinkles is such a breakthrough book in the skin-care world: not only does it enable readers to remedy their problems in just four minutes a day, but it teaches them how to correctly identify exactly what their problems are.

                      This informative and user-friendly book demonstrates Dr. Schultz's clinically proven five-step program with fascinating before and after photos of real patients, engaging sidebars with statistics and helpful hints, and the author's exclusive guide to selecting the right products for every skin type and every skin problem. It's Not Just About Wrinkles takes all the mystery and confusion out of skin care by revealing dermatologists' long-held trade secrets. Finally, a book that shows every woman how to have the skin she's always wanted!

                      If you are starting a weight program this is a good book for you. But for someone who is looking for new exercises, something different from the same old bicep curls, this is a book I would NOT recommend. Instead try "Look Great Sleeveless" As a personal trainer I found that book to be much more challenging.

                      ....This is a refreshingly straight, just-what-you-need-to-know approach to one of a fitness-head's favorite subjects--arms. Good exercises, good programs, great illustrations. And it's easy to use because there's no extra baloney in it. I'm 4 weeks into the 6-week program and I can totally see the difference.

                      This book describes how to build a hot tub. It gives all necessary details and is THE book for hot tub builders. I only missed a chapter on how to maintain a wooden hot tub once you've built it. The book is hard to find though.

                      5 out of 5 stars It was worth the wait..........2002-12-23

                      It took about 3 years to get this book... But it was worth it. It makes building your own hot tub well within the reach of anyone with a few power tools and the ability to buy some good redwood. I recommend this book to anyone with patience, a tablesaw and some $$ for wood.
