Book Reviews of Encyclopedia of Sculpture Techniques

Book Review: Excellent Sculpture Resource
Summary: 5 Stars

Clearly describes a wide range of sculptural terms, techniques and materials. Enteries are concise yet are often in-depth providing a clear understanding of complex or obscure subjects in this field of art. For the non-art school sculptor (like myself) or the new art student, it is invaluable reference book. Well-written with a personal and occassionally witty voice, I found it easy to read it from front to back. Pictures and diagrams instructive and relevant although more would be helpful for a few enteries to assist in understanding the subject in question. Well-bound and sturdy book for a paperback. A must-have for a student of sculpture.

Summary of Encyclopedia of Sculpture Techniques

From accelerators (chemicals that speed up the hardening process) to workmate (a portable workbench popular in many studios), this key reference contains all a working sculptor needs to know! Not only does it include details on techniques, but if offers guidance on a wide selections of materials, from bronze and concrete to polystyrene and glass. Hints on adapting tools and producing unusual finishes all give sculptors greater versatility in their craft. And the recipes-including one for mixing aggregates-plus facts about setting, hardening, and curing times will prove invaluable. Numerous photos show sculptors at work, and showcase famous sculptures, and there are diagrams of tools. It's the definitive guide to studio practice.
