Description

Form Emphasis for Metalsmiths by Heikki Seppä presents a bold new approach to creative expression in metal. This influential book encourages artists to break free from traditional forms and explore the possibilities of pure form. To achieve this, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of metal's properties as an artistic medium and mastery of techniques such as planishing, soldering, and hinging. The author also argues that thinking in terms of function can limit one's creativity, and instead offers a new vocabulary of shapes and forms that metal can take under skilled hands. Profusely illustrated with Seppä's own sketches, the book features an extensive glossary of these terms, making it a valuable resource for accomplished craftsmen, teachers, and advanced students of metalsmithing.
