New books in Soigne library

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Soigne is very proud of two purchased books from Hadar Jacobson:

“The handbook of metal clay – textures and forms”; Over 30 step-by-step projects, 128 pages, full color, soft cover, spiral bound.

“Silver and Bronze clay – movement and mechanisms”. 39 step-by-step projects for silver and bronze clay, 128 pages, full color, soft cover, spiral bound.

There are both fantastic books, self published by Hadar and only available on her website http://store.artinsilver.com/haofmecltean.html. I had pleasure to exchange few email with Hadar and we event thought about flying her over to Vancouver for a workshop.  Hadar is my idol in knowledge about metal clays, each time I have questions she sends advice immediately.

Both books are available in Soigne library.

Merry Christmas !!!!!!!

Finally managed to upload some pictures on Flickr and used they slide show convenient tool. You are more than welcome to check link under SOIGNE ATELIE. I captured a screen shots from Flickr and got this cool mini kind of mix media jewelry collage.

I am currently teaching basics of mix media jewelery. Within 4 hours you will make 2 -3 pendants using soldering iron, glass, photographs and lead free solder. During the class we will cover different methods of aging the metal to “antique” the look. You will be provided with detailed handouts and all the information to start your little home pendant production. More details and pictures of the pendants in the next post.
