Some books and sources: A list of excellent books for learning jewelry
making and sources for them.
Lewton-Brain 1991/1992/94©
These sources are the authors and publishers and the first two at least
offer substantial discounts if the books are purchased in at least ten
by an educational institution, a group or an individual. A discount
source for books in print in North America is also listed below.
Wooding's books can be recommended for anyone wishing to learn
stonesetting in a North American, production oriented style. Well
illustrated they are the best currently available-though I would not
personally approach a number of the settings as described. All of
McCreight's books are excellent. Sylvia Wicks book, brought out of
limbo by Tim McCreight is a delight and the best bargain in a color,
hard bound book I've seen in years. Finally Ron Young's books are very
good for larger scale work. His Contemporary Patination makes up for
the poor safety attitude in the Methods for Modern Sculptors book. The
former is a working, useful studio guide to patination unlike the
monumental Colouring, Bronzing and Patination of Metals put out in 1983
by Hughes and Rowe.

three books offer a very good start on the field.
