An absolute must have book for anyone wanting to try their hand at repousse!!!
I've been experimenting with Repousse for a wee while on copper and aluminium and have been wanting to try pewter. In being self taught through experimenting, there have still been some areas where I have thought 'there must be some simple trick to this'...for example the difficulty of using metal tools on metal and having it not glide smoothly...and I had to laugh and smile when I read Sandy's simple suggestion of using an oil based product for the tools to glide over the metal. I appreciated that I was able to read bits of her book in the 'Look Inside' feature. That little snippet answered my questions so really could have gotten away with not buying the book...however, I thought she has shared so much in these few pages, I am curious about the rest of the book...and it has been money very well spent. Sandy breaks it down in the simplest of ways and makes Repousse very accessible for anyone! I see where I have been doing things right, some wrong and how I can do some things even better. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone looking to try their hand at repousse!!!

... to work with pewter and found this book very useful. Well written and illustrated
I have just started to work with pewter and found this book very useful. Well written and illustrated. Would recommend. There is a dvd but not available at the moment seemingly. The author is from South Africa where pewter work is very popular.Hazel.

one to have
well explained projects, good pictures and tips, overall a very instructive collection of projects. A beginner could well take on a new hobby with confidence using this as a starting point. Can't wait to give it a try myself, good book to have in the studio maybe to add a new dimension to an existing crafty pursuit. recommended
