In The New Silversmith, learn the cutting-edge sculptural torchwork techniques of jewelry artist Nicole Ringgold to create hand-fabricated nature-inspired jewelry pieces from sterling silver.
With an innovative approach that challenges metalworking’s conventional wisdom, Ringgold makes use of scraps and minimizes the need for chemicals as she crafts intricately detailed pieces that appear to be electroplated, carved, or cast.
Metal, torch, and tools. An overview of the necessary materials and supplies and how to use them.
Stunning projects. A variety of techniques, illustrated by projects ranging from simple chain designs to a textured branch to a delicate dragonfly, provide inspiration as well as instruction.
Access to online tutorials. QR codes throughout the book link to how-to videos.
Create sumptuous earrings, pendants, bracelets, and rings in sterling silver that celebrate natural forms with this revolutionary, zero-waste approach to jewelry making.
