Excellent coverage of wire arts for the intermediate jewelry maker who is ready to move on and needs to know what sort of wire art they can try next. The book covers coiling, braiding, knitting, weaving and chain maille.The instructions and diagrams are clear and the projects are rated by difficulty.

Interesting book, particularly the part about chainmail, but it's not the easiest to use around. Great pictures though!

I have seen silver bracelets made from the instructions in this book, and they are beautiful. I've yet to have the courage to try it myself.

Though the instructions are accurate, they are neither direct nor simple. The drawings are clear and excellent, they are not for the simplest method. Be prepared to practice on inexpensive materials.
