Description
A foundational volume from the renowned Penland School of Crafts, this book presents the techniques, philosophies, and creative processes taught by master jewelry artists in one of the most influential craft schools in the world.
Rather than a simple step-by-step manual, this is a studio-centered reference, reflecting Penland’s immersive teaching model. Contributors explore metalworking techniques, fabrication, surface treatment, conceptual development, and the relationship between maker and material—making this book as intellectually rich as it is practical.
Highly regarded by metalsmiths, serious students, and craft educators, it documents jewelry making as an evolving art form rooted in tradition and innovation.
