A Passion for Metal
$39.95

Henry Harvey takes you behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a sculptor.  With wit and candor, he shares the secrets and techniques he’s learned over four decades of sculpting. Asked why, Harvey says simply, “It’s an amazing life…and it’s pay-back time.”

There are a number of projects, from making a simple copper rose….to a rose bush, floral scenes, copper willow trees, pastel blowing elm trees, to bronze splatter trees, a technique that Harvey explains in detail.

You will learn fountain-making 101, from planishing your first copper basin to tuning a fountain, to learning how to harness the laws of physics so the water goes where it’s supposed to.  Many of Harvey’s sculptures have a touch of whimsy, particularly in his creatures and animals.

Once you get into the book, if you have a technical or sculpting question for Mr. Harvey, please email him at harveygallery64@gmail.com
