Making Jewellery magazine issue 83 - on sale 23rd July 2015
We are getting exotic this month, with beautiful pieces of jewellery to make, all inspired by the Far East. From Chinese symbols on polymer clay, to a stunning Japanese fan made out of metal clay, the projects this month are as imaginative as they are gorgeous. Techniques include stitching with four-holed beads, soldering metal with pieces of bamboo, capturing a geode slice in wire, making a glowing-effect lampwork bead and plenty more! We’ve got reviews of top jewellery making products and books, insights into the hottest fashion trends and lots of giveaway prizes to win, so you’ll get your fix of all things jewellery all in one place! Plus, the issue comes with a free ‘simple statement’ jewellery collection, containing six step-by-step projects that you can make quickly and easily.
