Bead & Wire Fashion Jewelry’ is a fresh and modern take on the classic techniques of making beautiful bead and wire jewellery.
This new book, from the founder of the London Jewellery School, combines in-depth easy-to-follow techniques with a fashion-focused approach to design and is suitable for complete beginners and more experienced jewellery-makers alike. The book follows the central ethos that ‘everyone can make jewellery’, as a result all the projects use easy to source materials and are designed for anyone to make their own professional quality jewellery from the kitchen table.
Jessica Rose founded the London Jewellery School in 2009. It began as one class a week in her local community centre and in a few short years has grown to be the UK’s largest independent jewellery training centre, with over 100 classes to choose from. Jessica has taught thousands of students how to make jewellery and this book was written in response to their reoccurring questions about technique, materials and inspiration. You can read my review of one of their courses here.
The reader is first introduced to all the essential techniques used to make bead and wire jewellery, whilst also combining mixed materials such as feathers, fabric, leather and buttons. This offers a toolbox of techniques from which countless designs and collections can be made.
Alongside techniques, this book showcases a simple but inspiring design process using mood boards, cutouts and collages and encourages you to consider the design of a piece in relation to an overall style, outfit or occasion as any fashion designer would.
Bead & Wire Fashion Jewelry is suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced jewellers looking to diversify their skills. It is written by a jewellery lover, for jewellery lovers everywhere.
