Organic Metalworking is a
serial
publication
which
explores Lorelei's passion for creating functional ironwork
that emulates
asymmetrical patterns found in nature.
Volume One features information, insight, instruction,
and
projects
inspired by The Grapevine.
In addition to traditional blacksmithing,
modern applications for
moving and shaping metal are presented.
Organic Metalworking can
be used to describe
the
aesthetic
composition of
Lorelei's
work,
but it also
refers to the natural
development
of her
skills. |
|
72 pages with over
300 full-color photographs
that illustrate techniques
used for recreating vines,
tendrils, leaves, and grape
bunches in metal.
Geared for the reader who
is familiar with how metal
moves, but would like
to expand their capabilities.
The use of varied tools and
equipment are discussed,
including electric and pneumatic
hand tools, welding, plasma
cutting, and of course,
traditional blacksmithing.
Includes 15 projects with step
by step instructions, as well
as a few images of Lorelei's commissioned ironwork to
provide inspiration to the reader. |
