Editor’s
Letter
t’s autumn and the
season where the
colours of nature
really shine. Deep warm
hues of red, gold and
yellow come out and the
countryside becomes a
breathtaking vista. In
this vane we can’t let a
year go by without autumn being a theme for
an issue late in the year.
Leaves, berries and branches form the basis
of the seasonal designs that adorn these
pages. Our gorgeous cover project is by Pat
Wilson (p28) and is her first one for
MJ.
I love
copper clay and its lovely warm colour. It’s
pretty easy to use and as it’s also torch fireable
it gets around the need to kiln fire – great for
your budget! Another personal favourite this
month is Tansy Wilson’s Moon earrings (p52).
They look gorgeous and are a good soldering
project for a beginner.
I have fi nally found the time in my busy
schedule to write up a comprehensive guide
to taking good photos of your jewellery
makes. It’s always the fi rst thing readers ask
about when they are looking for advice.
Good, clear, sharp photos are essential to
selling your work or even just to show it off
on social media. In my masterclass, I take
you through everything you need to consider
when photographing your work. Fortunately
we live in an age when you don’t even need to
have a camera as most modern smartphones
have perfectly good cameras!
