Two Things Are Essential. The First Is A Thorough Understanding Of The Special Properties Of Metal As An Artistic Medium And An Intimate Knowledge Of Techniques For Working It. Only When He Has Mastered The Physical Means Of Working With Metal Can The Artist Free His Imagination For Unimpeded Creation. Though Not Addressed To The Beginner, Seppa Discusses The Fundamental Techniques Of Planishing, Soldering, And Hingingall The Basic Means By Which Metal Is Shaped. The Second Is To Free The Artist From Thinking In Terms Of Function, Since This Limits His Concepts Of What Can Be Created. Even Such Traditional Forms As The Cube, The Cone, The Cylinder, And The Dome Have Their Limitations, And Seppa Opens New Possibilities By Creating A New Vocabulary, New Terms By Which To Identify The Many Shapes Metal Can Take Under Skilled Hands. A Major Feature Of This Book Is An Extensive Glossary Of These Terms, Each One Illustrated With A Sketch By The Author.

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.
