    Default Metal Clay book recommendations

    I'm planning to play a little more with Art Clay over the next couple of months and I'm looking for a couple of books to help me progress with techniques and ideas.

    Does anyone have any that they would recommend?

    I'm hoping for world peace but I'd also like something shiny as well...

    Thanks for the suggested book Annie, I'll have a look out for that.

    I'd already found the Metal Clay Academy and had a good look around - there is some great information on there.

    Kym, sadly I gave away the books I had. Sorry. There is one book, however, that I kept 'just in case' and that's the making beads with metal clay book that, Nic I think it was, mentioned
