Jewelry Making and Design: An Illustrated Text Book for Teachers, Students of Design, and Craft Workers in Jewelry

Meer over het boek

This illustrated textbook offers a wealth of drawings, designs, and photographs showcasing the work of students from various educational backgrounds, including high school and art school. It provides detailed descriptions of materials and processes involved in jewelry making, along with outlined and illustrated equipment for both individual and school use. The designs are presented to encourage students to think creatively and develop their own style, rather than simply copying existing works, as this can hinder their growth and individuality. A chapter on Hub and Die Cutting is included to explain the modern machine-based jewelry production process, ensuring readers understand it without attempting it without prior experience in steel work. This volume aims to be particularly beneficial for students, craftsmen, and teachers interested in applying design principles to various materials. Acknowledgments are given to those who contributed to the book's completion, particularly Josephine Beane Rose for her assistance in text correction and proofreading. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic works, using advanced technology to maintain the original format while addressing imperfections in aged copies.
