Aluminium is a versatile and easily obtainable material which can be decorated in a number of ways. This book covers a wide variety of methods for colouring aluminium, including painting and drawing, low-tech colouring, submersion dyes, anodising, resists, digital printing and sublimation printing. There are also sections on sealing pigment into the metal, assembly and cold connections, and a number of step-by-step projects with illustration sequences for the reader to follow. The book also covers suppliers, trouble-shooting and workhop health and safety information. Beautifully illustrated with cutting-edge work from a number of jewellers, this is a practical and inspirational handbook. 'Serves to inspire and enlighten any jewellery maker who wants to inject a slash of colour into their work.' Craftsman Magazine
