Haab covers all the basics from tools to how to fire, but she goes further and also breaks projects down into various techniques such as carving, working with molds, setting stones, epoxy resin, even incorporating fused glass and polymer clay into metal clay designs. So this 144 page book really covers a huge amount of metal clay territory.
However, the inclusion of the DVD is probably the icing on the cake for this book. It's an hour long DVD which includes the same printed material found the book, but it has four new projects, all taught by the author. I found the DVD to be very easy to follow with clear images. It was sort like taking a virtual class.
Considering you get a book and a DVD for this price ($24.95), I couldn't help but be impressed with the value of this book and DVD package.
