Women Talking

Holly Berkleys All-New Twenty to Make: Wirework Jewellery is a wonderful place to start. I was struck by how accessible it feels20 achievable projects ranging from rings and pendants to earrings and bracelets. What makes this book especially easy to follow is its use of clear, step-by-step visuals. Each technique is illustrated so beautifully that you feel confident trying new skills, whether youre twisting loops or creating a wire weave.

As someone who often shies away from crafty projects for fear theyll be too fiddly, I love how Hollys instructions demystify the process. You dont need an entire workshop of toolsjust a few essentials to get goingand that makes it feel much more doable.
