This book covers various methods of colouring including painting and drawing, low-tech colouring, submersion dyes, anodising, resists, digital printing and sublimation printing. There are also sections on sealing pigment into the metal, assembly and cold connections, and a number of step-by-step projects with making images for the reader to follow, as well as all the expected components of a Jewellery Handbook such as suppliers list, trouble-shooting and workshop health and safety information.
