Description: Description From back cover: A master artist and teacher of metalwork presents a bold new approach to creative expression in metal. Believing that the time has come for the artist to free himself from the functional forms that have dominated the metalsmith's craft--the cup, the box, the pitcher, etc. -Heikki Seppä urges the craftsman to create in terms of pure form, and in this book he shows him how. The book is profusely illustrated throughout with the author's own sketches of the ideas and techniques discussed. It will be of significant value to the accomplished craftsman as well as to teachers and advanced students of this exciting and growing art form. The artistic metal creations of Heikki Seppä have won international acclaim, from his award of master status in silversmithing from the Ministry of Education in his native Finland to numerous exhibits and awards here and abroad. As a teacher of metal-smithing in the School of Fine Arts of Washington University, Mr. Seppä's work with young artists led to the formulation of the new approach to creativity in metal that he details in this book. Former Library Book. Good, clean copy. No internal markings. Some shelf wear.
