Synopsis
"More than 30 techniques unfold in these beautifully illustrated pages. The pleasure begins with a chart of possible materials: the large menu of imaginative options includes clay, plaster, wood, stone, and papier mache, as well as more unusual suggestions."-- National Ceramics, Cast and carve, weld and mold, model and rivet: whichever method you choose, sculpting is intense and rewarding. From assemblage to brazing, more than 30 techniques unfold in these beautifully illustrated pages. The pleasure begins with a chart of possible materials: the large menu of imaginative options includes clay, plaster, wood, stone, and papier mch, as well as more unusual suggestions like aerated concrete block, rubber, and found objects. Create an armature for producing a life figure. Form a bird from such surprising items as plastic coat hangers, felt-tip pen caps, and a threaded steel rod. Form a steel fish by melting metal with an acetylene torch and welding pieces together. Finish off by coloring, make repairs when something goes wrong as you work, and find inspiration in photos of magnificent pieces, all arranged by theme. You'll build a solid foundation for your sculpture-making skills.

    I've bought from this seller a few times already and each time the experience is great. The books are always as shown in the pictures posted. Seller takes the time to wrap the books to ensure books aren't damaged during shipping. Seller is good to communicate with if you have any questions. I'm happy with my order when I place them and will continue to support the store.

    Very quick shipping! Packaging was securely sealed, and the book was not bent, dented, or otherwise harmed from the shipping process. The book condition is as described, very honest listing. For the price and condition, this purchase was worth it. I would feel confident buying from this seller again, knowing that the listings show and tell me exactly what to expect. I also like that this book does not have that old mildew smell. It is evident that this seller preserves item quality.
