Product description

Review

"New to beading or want to learn a different technique? Then this is a great book to start with. Jean teaches you the basics of stringing, wirework, and beadwork, along with a section on findings, tools, and working with color. Using many photos and step-by-step instructions, each technique is described in detail and follows with several projects from guest designers. This is also a great book to use as a reference to brush up on techniques you may not use often."
--Bead & Button

"The presentation is highly visual, with full-color photographs and illustrations throughout to complement the instructions. VERDICT: Novice jewelry-makers in need of a visual guide to basic beadwork techniques will be drawn to this work."
--Library Journal

    I got this as a gift for a friend who is a new beader -- and I almost kept it for myself and ordered another copy! I have learned so much from Jean, I knew this book wouldn't disappoint. It was perfect for my friend. Great photos, and a superb collection of so many different beading principles.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Beginning Beader's Resource.
    Reviewed in the United States on 13 April 2017

    So much information! This is a fantastic resource for any beginning beader; basic tools, bead types, and techniques are covered in-depth, and a wide variety of projects are included to help you practice each of the skills addressed. Great colour and design choices mean that the end results look far and above what typical "beginner" beadwork often does (I know this from experience!), and variation schematics inset throughout the pages allow for endless creative adaptations. Even as an advanced beader, I have a copy of this book to be able to teach students most effectively with--it's bright, concise, and chock full of ideas and tips without being overwhelming or overly wordy. Great layout and organisation, as well. Jean Power knows her stuff, and yet again, this book proves it!
