This is by far the most attractive volume on ceramic bead-making anywhere. The 30 colourful jewellery projects are wonderfully simple and will be loved by crafters. Crafters will eagerly snap it up to learn how they can create a variety of striking projects using low-fire clay and a rainbow of colourful glazes. The basic techniques include hand-rolling, cutting, stamping, press-molding and extruding, as well as surface embellishment. Nothing says love more than the flirty urban-hip ring with a metal clay arrow shot through the heart. A bohemian chic big-bead necklace mimics the look of traditional majolica and rivals any pricey boutique find. Charming photography captures the colours and textures of a festive outdoor market, making every page playful, fun and accessible..../ Ceramic Bead Jewelry: 30 Fired & Inspired Projects (Lark Jewelry Books) / BOOK OF HOBBIES

Jennifer Heynen's book Ceramic Bead Jewelry : Ceramic Bead Jewelry: 30 Fired & Inspired Projects (Lark Jewelry Books)
I stopped making pottery on the wheel about 15 years ago when my arthritis became too severe. Now I find myself making jewelry, and I am excited to return to working with clay as part of my new hobby.
This book would be most useful to those who have a background in working with clay. I do not want to suggest that the author failed to cover any necessary information; this is a field in which details are important, and I don't know how you could learn everything you need to know from any book. If you really want to make clay beads, pendants, etc., and you've never worked with clay, this book would be an excellent addition to a pottery class. Even though the book is very thorough, I don't think you can expect to pick it up (or any other book, either) and have all of the information you need. For one thing, the information you need will in part depend on what's available in your area from your local suppliers. There are different kinds of clay bodies and various kinds of glazes - you can even make your own, but that's getting pretty advanced. Electric kilns are different from gas kilns, which are different from wood-fired kilns. . .which are often artisan-made, and no book will provide what you need to know about those, as they are all different, and often must be fired several times before their quirks are understood.
A few weeks ago I went out and bought 25 lbs of porcelain, and even though I have quite a bit of experience with it for throwing and handbuilding, when it came to making small objects with holes, I had a lot of questions. This book answered every one of them, and I'm grateful I found it. Although I won't be making any of the author's projects, as her taste and style are very different from mine, reading through the projects still yields a lot of important information. If your taste, also, varies enough from the author's that you don't think you will make any of the projects, that's not a reason to shy away from this book. There's enough information there to guide you through your own variations so that you can produce your own artistic vision.
Read her instructions carefully, as they contain a lot of information. If you've not worked in clay before, I would strongly suggest taking a pottery class and using this book, along with your instructor's direction, to fine tune your craft. Then find another instructor. Just as one book can't possibly teach everything, neither can one instructor. This is a wonderful, rewarding hobby, and this book is an important part of the literature.
