What metalwork does require, however, is practice — just like that pianist, practicing scales. When we began to plan Essential Techniques: Making Metal Jewelry, we wanted to create a guide that not only introduced you to essential techniques, but also encouraged you to hone those skills before moving on to create a finished piece. The techniques covered in this volume build on each other; when you reach the end, you’ll have the skills needed to experiment and discover your own artistic voice, and make tangible the ideas that are floating in your head.
