Hot Metal: A Complete Guide to the Metal Casting of Sculpture - Paperback
by Wayne Potratz (Author)
This introduction to the art of the metal casting of sculpture combines practical, hands-on instruction with scientifically accurate descriptions of the many processes that a metal sculptor must learn in order to master the craft. Metal sculpture is part of a human tradition that goes back at least 8,000 years. It makes use of all five of the earth's essential elements: earth, air, fire, water, and light. The author, a renowned expert in the field, provides beginners and intermediate-level metal workers and artists with a step-by-step introduction to this complex, but richly rewarding, art form.
Wayne E. Potratz is a sculptor and Professor Emeritus and Scholar of the College Emeritus of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where he did creative research in metal casting and taught sculpture from 1969-2014. His studio is in Minneapolis; his work can be seen at www.ironwain.com
