Fine Art Wire Weaving: Weaving Techniques for Stunning Jewelry Designs

Plenty of novel and expertly described projects here for relative novice as well as more advanced jewellery makers. As a more advanced wire worker I am always looking for inspiration that goes beyond the basic level and this book has been just what I was looking for. I particularly liked the suggestions and alternatives for how each project could be elaborated using alternative and extended design options. I have found many uses for the modified sumac weave in my own projects - it lends a professional look to some external projects where I thought the original suggested weave was looking messy or loose. Highly recommended and worth every penny you spend on this reasonable priced book.

I ordered this book in advance of its publication. I love Sarah Thompson's jewellery so I eagerly awaited the book's arrival. I was not disappointed. This is a fabulous book. Her writing style shows what a good teacher she is and I don't think there is a single project in the book that I don't want to make. I have made a couple already and, even though I have been wire weaving for quite a while, I have learnt several tips and tricks to make working easier and make thi finished product neater and more professional. I highly recommend this book for all levels of wire work as the instructions are super-clear and easy to follow. The more difficult projects are broken down so that they don't seem so daunting.

Brilliant. I'm just a beginner but find this book very helpful. I like complicated challenges. Practice makes perfect. For me I'm still trying to use the right Guage wire and get it to do what looks so easy in the book. Definitely recommend this book but also highly recommend looking up wire weaving on YouTube.

Great book, with beautiful content and good project instruction. However, I learnt the hard way not to trust the ‘Materials’ section of the projects e.g. the conversion of 24” is not 40.5cm, nor is 15 feet 3metres - ended up wasting wire on my first project due to incorrectly cut length!

Amazing and wonderful book. Packed with lovely designs, well photographed and good instructions. Seldom have I come across a book that has so many wonderful designs, I can't stop looking at it.

Easy to follow

Excellent book. Has the usual pages devoted to tools and basics but then moves quickly onto some great projects.

Many beautiful items to make with good instructions.

Explicaciones muy claras. Las fotografías a color permiten apreciar muy bien los detalles. Excelente libro de referencia.

Dieses Buch von Sarah Thompson mit minutiös beschriebenen Arbeitsschritten, mit Materialerklärungen und Hinweisen auf Fehler ist für mich einzigartig. Die Möglichkeit, als Laie solche geschmackvollen Schmuckstücke selber herzustellen, muß einfach begeistern. Zwar ist der gesamte Text in Englisch geschrieben, das kann mich jedoch nicht davon abhalten, diese „Gebrauchsanweisungen“ als erstes komplett zu lesen. Nun habe ich wieder ein neues Hobby und fühle mich richtig beschenkt.

This is a great book for those with a little bit of experience or those who want to improve their wire wrapping techniques. The photography is useful and attractive and the instructions are easy to follow. I'll be 'having a go' at many of the beautiful items in this book. Another good thing is that there are plenty of projects in here, so I felt it was real value for money. I'll certainly be looking at others by this author, who is truly a skilled wire wrapper.

Ottimo libro,fatto e scritto bene(in inglese).Per chi è già pratico.

Bom livro para quem está iniciando
