Jewelry Classroom is a practical and educational collection in which the processes and techniques used in jewelry are shown, in a detailed and very visual way. The content, rigorous and current, is accompanied by a large number of images and drawings that help clarify each of the processes shown. In this volume, dedicated to metal techniques, the bases of some techniques that constitute true crafts are explained, such as enamel, chiseling or gem setting. Current techniques such as the application of images on metal or the application of paints as a form of surface finish are also shown. In the last part of the book, step-by-step examples are offered of how to put into practice some of the processes explained in the first chapters.

This book covers the fundamental processes of wood carving, both direct carving and reproduction from a model. Explained with rigor and clarity, the theoretical principles and praxis of this art are shown. In this sense, new features are provided such as the medina method of enlargement, apart from other reproduction systems such as scoring points, explained in detail. The work, however, essentially offers the practical aspect of wood carving, exposing in eleven step-by-step exercises the complete creation process, from the project to the finished work, establishing a sequence to progress in the most important aspects of this artistic discipline.

From these pages the reader is encouraged to enter the magic of form through ceramics, thanks to the extraordinary plastic quality of clays. To do this you need few things, basically your hands, and a great desire to discover. This book offers extensive technical information for working with ceramics: the necessary materials and tools, the essential methods for modeling (kneading, wheel, molds, etc.), for decorating the pieces (slipping, varnishing, etc.) and the keys to adequate cooking, at low and high temperatures.

The text is complemented by six exercises, illustrated step by step, that summarize in a practical way what was explained in previous chapters.

It concludes with an interesting gallery of works that illustrate the infinite artistic possibilities of ceramics.
