Sculpting in Wire
Herbert Press Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-912217-22-9 (ISBN)
This book is a clear, lively and fun introduction to sculpting in wire. Very much aimed at beginners, there are 6 projects of increasing difficulty, aiming to teach you how to sculpt in wire from the most basic starting point up through to soldering. The first projects give you information about wire and using pliers, and then how to incorporate other materials such as tin, feathers and material to your work. The last project includes the use of some simple silver soldering.
Get started with clear step-by-step images that show you the processes involved in every project and be inspired by the work of contemporary artists showing everything from hats and shoes, to life-size figures, sheep and even elephants.
