Crafts & Hobbies Art, Design & Photography History
Jewellery Makers Motifs History Techniques, authored by Helen Craven, Ronald Lightbrown, Peter Hinks, Patricia Bayer and Vivienne Becker, is a comprehensive non‑fiction guide that explores the evolution, design motifs and practical methods of jewellery making. Published by Thames & Hudson in 1989, the volume spans art, craft, history and technical aspects, making it a valuable reference for both hobbyists and professional makers.
The hardcover comes with its original dust jacket, which includes a clear plastic overlay; a piece of blue tape secures the bottom edge of the overlay. The front cover shows minor edge marks and the first three pages exhibit light foxing, but the book is free of writing, dog‑ears, stuck pages and remains tightly bound.
Ideal for adults and young adults interested in crafts, design history or jewellery education, this well‑preserved copy offers more than 400 techniques and motifs to inspire new projects. It has been kept in a smoke‑free home, ensuring a clean and collectible condition for collectors and practitioners alike.
