In Discover Torch Enameling, professional designer and teacher Steven James shows jewelry makers how to get sophisticated results from simple torch enameling techniques.  His well-planned process enables jewelry makers to get started and succeed quickly, creating quality jewelry at their own kitchen tables.  He introduces 25 all-new projects in his guide to kitchen-table torch enameling. 

His fun, engaging style teaches readers to make colorful bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and pendants using simple enameling techniques.  Readers will learn a few basic mentalwork skills - sawing, cutting, punching, dapping, and riveting - along with applying enamel effects.  Armed with Steven's personal mantra, "What are you going to make today?," readers will be encouraged to get creative, experiment with color, and have fun.

Melissa P:

"I just received my Discovering Torch Enameling book and I can't wait to get started! The biggest problem is I don't know which project to do first. The vibrant pictures and clear instructions are great! Steven's instructions are so easy to follow and his tips and suggestions are spot on."

Char B:

"What I love about this book...yes, there are great projects but it's not doing the same thing on different shapes. Each project uses different skills, techniques, or products to complete. Steven includes tips on changing things up, strategies to improve your outcome, and some cost saving ideas all while giving us the Steven James style and attitude! I'm looking forward to creating the H2O piece but my now favorite is the Ready to Raku bracelet. If you haven't purchased this book yet, what ARE you waiting for?"
