ABOUT
Slim A4 size brand new paperback book that is 58 pages long. 
Despite its slightly odd name this is an excellent book that might interest anyone wanting to find out more about using metals in a creative way within textiles. As well as information on the best metals to use it provides tips on how to use the materials effectively.
The book is very visual with high quality images to illustrate the instructions. 
The book includes a small number of example outcomes but what makes it the most interesting is the wide range of experimental ideas and activities that are suggested. These include colouring techniques, patterning and texturing, weaving, beads and stitch techniques. 
The book also includes a focus on a small number of textile artists who work with metal. 
This book might be of interest to teachers planning for both art textiles and D&T qualifications.
The book might be of particular interest to anyone who has attended the 'Supporting Textile Specialists to Deliver D&T GCSE Core Content' online course or who has purchased the 'Mainly Metal (distance learning CPD for textiles specialists in schools)' self study course.
