This is the third book in the 'Basics of Sculpture' series, and has the same clear and informative step-by-step layout. Very much aimed at beginners, there are 6 projects of increasing difficulty. The projects start by teaching the properties of wire and simply using pliers, and then progress to incorporate other materials such as tin, feathers and wool. The final project includes the use of some simple silver soldering. Clear step-by-step images show the processes involved in every project. Images of fantastic sculptures in wire by contemporary artists are scattered throughout, showing everything from life-size figures to sheep, elephants and even hats.
