An introduction to the media used in the tutorials also covers tools and supplies and represents about 10% of the page content. The author's writing is clear and accessible and easy to understand. The following 12 chapters contain a wide variety of tutorials for art projects, from resin disks (coasters, magnets, etc), to collage, a stunning vase, and resin coated cheeseboards.
The tutorials themselves are logically formatted and easy to follow. Tools and supplies are listed in a sidebar section, along with a description, step-by-step instructions and clear photos. The photography is very high quality and supports the tutorials well.
This would be a good choice for adults or well supervised (very) small groups of students well supervised and directed. There are safety and toxicity concerns with most of the supplies used in these projects and that should be taken into consideration with regard to studio space ventilation, fire hazard, etc.
Really lovely and appealing projects, well documented. The book also includes a troubleshooting guide/FAQ and an abbreviated resource links list. The supplies can be challenging to source locally, however, everything is readily available online.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
