When Alan Revere published his landmark text Professional Goldsmithing in 1991, he introduced European-style jewelry training to a wide and enthusiastic audience in America. That work quickly became a best-seller while assuming the status of a standard text in the field of jewelry making. Long out of print, the material in that book has been expanded, refined, and reworked by the author, and the result is this highly-anticipated volume entitled Professional Jewelry Making. Thirty-five projects lead students and jewelers at all levels of proficiency through a wide range of skills: from basic layout to advanced fabrication techniques. Revere's 4 decades as a working goldsmith and passionate teacher are obvious on every page as he leads us methodically through each step. A demanding yet generous teacher, he relentlessly strives for perfection and inspires the reader to do the same. 334 pages.
