Synopsis

Focusing on polymer clay, this book explains how to create beads using free-form methods and bead-rolling tools, with options for hand-rolling, sculpted forms and moulds made from found objects. Techniques include sculpted effects, simulations of semi-precious stones, photo-image transfers, and the use of glitter and organic material, helping each finished bead feel distinct.

Alongside a clear tools list, it covers finishing processes such as sanding, buffing and sealing, then shows how to turn your work into jewellery including necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Basic skills like stringing and attaching clasps are introduced before moving on to assembling components in styles ranging from contemporary and elegant to simple and fun. Suitable for beginners as well as more experienced makers looking for practical guidance and inspiration.
