"The methods described in Fine Art Metal Casting cross a broad range of disciplines that are not all associated with the sculpture foundry. For instance, mould-making methods and materials are used by practitioners from ceramics and glass through to jewellry and areas of conservation, archaeology and palaeontology where replicas must be made. Mould-making processes are also used in many design areas from vehicle prototyping to interior design. Therefore, this is a book which is accessible to practitioners of all levels of knowledge and experience. " "Fine Art Metal Casting provides a unique, all-encompassing, visually based demonstrative source which will prove invaluable for art-, craft-, and design-based practitioners, art historians and curators, scientists and conservators, and researchers and students.
