Well I've just found out that my jewellery will be featured in 'Coloured Aluminium Jewellery' by Lindsey Mann published by A&C Black.

Lindsey writes: "The book is an informative guide to the anodising and colouring of aluminium for jewellery will enthuse and enlighten any jewellery maker looking to inject a little colour into their work. The book contains a host of colouring techniques including dip-dyeing, direct application, printmaking techniques and the clever use of resists."

If you fancy a spot of Jewellery making and in particular learning how to etch silver and having a go at dying and patterning aluminium then come along to The London Metropolitan University this October. I'll be teaching these techniques which will be fun! Book now so as not to be disappointed!

Being a jeweller by trade I am always on the look out for excellent jewellery techniques books and have recently found one. "The Workbench Guide to Jewelry Techniques" by Anastasia Young. It will be delivered to my workshop soon. I can't wait!
It's a comprehensive guide to jewelery making techniques with step by step photos and is a great reference book for learning new jewellery skills - there is always something new to learn in this business.
