Book Reviews of Form Emphasis for Metalsmiths
Book Review: A journey of language.
Summary: 3 Stars
This book by Heikki puts considerable emphasis on educating the reader in the appropriate use of the correct terms used to describe the various forms and shapes, it is helpful to keep a dictionary in your workshop so at least if you are not successful in creating the desired shape that you aspire to, you will be able to describe with an impressive range of terminoligy what it was supposed to have been. On a more serious note however, I would have prefered, sharp detailed photos of the varying proceedures rather than drawings (A picture is always worth a thousant words ) . A sample viewing inside the book prior to purchase would also have been helpful. I have for a considerable time now been searching for detailed information about the proceedures for creating the very deep drawn Acanthus Leaves such as found in the early French era. This book unfortunately will be added to my collection of "interesting but not what I was hoping to find collection". I found nothing of great value in it for the persuit of traditional leaf work but I would certainly highly recommend it for anybody anticipating some freeform sculpture as depicted on the cover page.
