Book Review:

"Contemporary Metal Clay Rings"  by Hattie Sanderson is phenomenal.  Hattie's book is the BEST metal clay book I have ever read!! I have practically every MC book out and hers is undoubtedly the best laid out book ever!! She has great tips and tricks, beautiful pictures for inspiration and perfect pictures demonstrating technique! It reminds me of my medical textbooks because the quality of the pages and the book binding are also excellent! I hope one day take a class with her as she has so much knowledge to share. Thanks for such a great book and the inspiration to create!
