By Henry Harvy
BABA member price £32
Non-member price £39
Henry Harvey is not a ‘blacksmith’, but he is an artist who uses metals, including steel, as his media. His main tools are a gas torch and a plasma cutter.
This book shows the full range of his sculptural work, from small wall hangings and table pieces, to large outdoor installations. From organic delicate shapes, to geometric abstract forms.
He discusses the properties of different metals and gives a lesson on using a gas torch. There are also eight ‘projects’ explained in detail.
The rich text is full of humour and anecdotes.
