Synopsis: Creating with metal has never been easier!

   • Discover the numerous types of metal available, including copper, mesh, wire and recycled material
   • Conjure up beautiful patina finishes with several "secret" recipes
   • Find further inspiration in the artists' gallery section


You'll love creating these pieces, whether you've worked with metal before or you're new to the medium. Give your recycle bin a second glance and start crafting beautiful pieces with metal today.
