The book describes everything you need to know about Metal Sculpture.

Though the book is small, it is exhaustive. Worth the buy.

Craig Evans has dedicated his book "Metal Sculpture and the mind of art" to the reader. "May you find your creation ". It is a unique gesture. What follows is unique too. The book describes precisely and exhaustively the creation of metal sculpture. Of particular interest is the care the author has taken to include safety measures.

The observations on art and creativity are touching some chord in the reader. Yes, I would like to "take one idea, and bring it to life" (i.e.), I'm inspired to write my first book.

Thank you Craig Evans.

This book helped me get started creating metal art sculptures, and gave me some nifty tricks to help me along the way.

This book was a great read, not only did it explore the Intricacies of metal sculpture, it explored the intellectual aspects of "art" itself.

I enjoyed this book because it gave me insight into where real art really comes from - the heart. Anytime a writer cares enough to put their thoughts and ideas before the scruitinizing public it involves a risk - one I'm sure that had a price. Craig incorporates his personal experiences with the process beautifully. The concepts are simple, but what strikes a person is the words that are not written. I only wish I had read this book sooner. I am looking forward to seening more work from this writer.

Prior to having read this book, I knew little if anything about metal sculpture. Having read this book, I now know that I knew even less about the creative process. Mr. Evans has done an outstanding job of illustrating the metal sculpture process in a manner that provides creative stimulation as well as step-by-step instruction. He laces the pages of direction with insightful anecdotes of his life and philosophies. He guides you through the mental processes with the same grace and finesse that he uses to guide you through the mechanical processes. The exposure of his personal downfalls and triumphs clearly indicate that he is a normal, everyday type of person. That left me with the feeling of "If an ordinary guy like him can create this type of art, so can I!" That is exactly the type of motivation I have needed to help me begin my journey into the world of artistic creativity. I will be forever in his debt.
