Introduction to Precious Metal Clay

This book is great for those who want to make jewelry with PMC. Mary Ann Devos has made a name for herself as a great PMC instructor and has been playing with PMC since 1996. She studied under Tim Mc Creight and has taught all over the world. This was my first PMC book and allowed me to feel comfortable enough to dip my toes in the wonderful world of PMC five years ago. Now, hundreds of pieces later, I know this book helped tremendously.

Great book... Well worth the money

I love this book, it gives a lot of ideas, not only using clay, but also money saver ideas. It offers ideas for making a home made clay dryers and others. It also gives a complete list of needed items, some of which most people already have rather than going out and buying un-needed things. Lots of interesting designs, and ideas to create..

Wonderful Reference Book

Whether you are a novice or a long time PMC'er, this book is a must. I am constantly going through it for references to a technique. LOVE IT!

Great for beginners.

Wonderful step-by-step book for beginners. It exposes you to various design elements of PMC and really helps the beginner understand how everything fits together without going too in depth. From a beginner's standpoint, I would have liked to have seen a better picture of what the finished product should have looked like at the end of each project, but that would not stop me from buying the book.

Excellent Resource for PMC Info

This book is an excellent reference for anyone who works with PMC. It is clearly written so a novice can follow, as well as provide backup to an expert looking for firing temp, time or options for glass, gold, etc. I looked at several books before deciding on this one - it has a good mix of expert advice and project inspiration.
