INDEX NEXT UP LAST ATG Metalwork Metalwork


STATUE IN BROOKGREEN GARDENS, SOUTH CAROLINA People have been working metals as long as bronze has been discovered. Artisans have created their metal magic for centuries working in gold, silver, copper, bronze, iron, steel, lead, and aluminium. [MH] {NR}
Most metals are extremely strong, hard, and durable. Their flexible strength permits a much greater freedom of design than either stone or wood. The colour, brilliant lustre, and reflectivity of metal surfaces are highly valued in sculptures. The metals can be worked in a variety of wars in order to produce sculpture. They can be cast (squeezed under pressure into dies), or worked directly (ie. hammered, bent, cut, welded). [RA] {EB}
