Jewelry Making Supplies

I want to learn to make titanium jewelry?

Well, specifically hair sticks, but I have no idea how to start. I worked with pewter a long time ago – my dad and I used to make little pewter soldiers using a melt-and-pour technique. We tried lost wax casting with less than stellar results.

So where can I go to learn about metalworking/metalsmithing techniques and specifically about working with titanium? Please recommend any books, websites, or even classes in the Sacramento, CA area.

firemountaingems.com. They have all the supplies as well as instructions for tons of projects.

Art of Metal Clay: Techniques for Creating Jewelry and Decorative Objects $17.92 Developed in Japan in the early 1990s, metal clay represents a dramatic development in the handling of precious metals for jewelrymaking. Metal clay consists of microscopic particles of silver or gold suspended in a pliable organic binder that can be worked with the hands and simple household tools, eliminating the need for difficult metalworking processes such as soldering, hammering, and cutting. When metal clay is fired, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse into pure (99.9 percent) metal. The Art of Metal Clay is a comprehensive introduction to the medium designed specifically for crafters and jewelrymakers, detailing the essentials of working, firing, and finishing metal clay to create beautiful jewelry and decorative objects. Artist and instructor Sherri Haab demonstrates metal clay’s remarkable versatility, showing how it can be textured, molded, carved, and sculpted to create gorgeous beads, bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings, and other jewelry settings, plus boxes and vessels. She also reveals how to combine metal clay with polymer clay, glass, and epoxy resin to create unique mixed-media pieces. An essential resource for anyone who wants the latest information on this up-and-coming crafts medium!
