Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Weaving and knitting may not seem to be likely techniques for metalworkers, but fine wire and strips of metal can be made pliable enough to be worked this way. Fisch gives detailed instructions for metal weaving, knitting, crocheting, braiding, lacemaking, and basketry. A section of historical examples and a pictorial survey of works by contemporary artists is included. This book would have been improved with more color photographs to bring out contrasts, but it is excellent otherwise.

Review
Jewelers, textile artists and sculptors receive an excellent guide to applying textile techniques to metals; from weaving and knitting metal to producing metal braids. This provides both a sweeping history of the use of metal in art and a list of basics for beginners; from suppliers of materials and tools to using various techniques to produce finished products. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspires new creative ideas and works, September 3, 1999
By A Customer
An excellent guide inspiring ideas for both metal sculpture and jewelry. A beautiful, as well as a thoughtful presentation of textile history and techniques adapted for use with metals. The photographs are elegant and eloquent in the information that they alone convey. A remarkable book useful to both students of jewelry techniques and to masters of metal work. Five Stars to Arline Fisch!

5.0 out of 5 stars When Fiber Becomes Metal, August 19, 2003
Though not the end all, be all of the technique (I wish she'd come out with a good project based how-to book on the subject), you will find tons of inspiration in the gallery and in the descriptions of the basic techniques! For those looking for a way to add to their current jewlery work or jump from textiles to jewelry, you'll find lots of help here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, June 23, 2007
This is not a how to do a project book.
Its a book that shows you how to push the materials used to its full capacity
100% inspirational.
Photos are great, so is the information on history materials, tools, etc.
A "must have" for all serious wire artists

Another disappointing book on using textile techniques in metal: the vast majority of the projects are too amateur and "crafty" in appearance, at least in my opinion... Read more
