 Clear, concise, easy to follow instructions, great pictures. October 25, 2008
My wife and I were going to be taking a Precious Metal class and we wanted to have some idea about techniques and equipment before we started.
We went to a bookstore and looked in the craft section. The first book we looked at was "Metal Clay In A Day" by Tammy Garner. We didn't have to look at any other books. We opened it up and the first thing that hit us was the clear, close up pictures. Many pictures in instructional books are not clear or close enough. Tammy's pictures show in great detail what she is trying to describe.
I ended up bringing the book to the class, and actually made the coiled "snake" pendant. It was so simple, and it turned out great.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether a beginner, or someone who's experienced with precious metal clay.

It is a good book, but it's a little intermediate for me. I did get some good ideas though.

The artist covers aspects of metal clay from beginner to advanced, with tips that reveal secrets that often are left out by other authors or instructors. If your looking for a metal clay book that will allow you to create objects of art and explain the details, then this is the book for you. The artist is well known for her work in PMC and uses this book to explain in detail (visuals are also GREAT) the techniques used to create jewelry from an elementary level to an advanced level. I highly recommend this book for every artist interested in creating metal clay jewelry and art objects.

A 'Must Have' for Beginning Metal Clay Enthusiasts June 25, 2008

Having already had the fortune to attend one of Tammy Garner's Metal Clay classes in person, I can say that reading her book "Metal Clay in a Day" is just like having her in the room with you, passing on helpful tips and techniques to create fantastic metal clay jewelry! The book takes away any intimidation a beginner might have about working with metal clay, because the projects are well laid out, don't take very long to do, and look great when they're done. I was particularly impressed with her tips on everything from where to buy practical yet inexpensive tools, to finding unusual textures for clay stamping all over your house (she made a beautiful pendant simply using the texture of a toothpaste cap!). This book will leave you eager to get your hands on some metal clay to try her projects out yourself.
