Sickler-Voigt","description":"?Follow a professional mosaic artist through the process of making six sculptures, demonstrating the techniques on a variety of interior and exterior works, both freestanding and wall mounted, through over 175 photographs.?    With easy-to-follow guidance and more than 175 photos, this book helps mosaic artists meet the challenge of creating  3-D substrates. It explains various approaches to issues ranging from reaching the needed levels of density and strength to applying tesserae to coils, twists, and spheres.     Professional studio mosaic artist Latimer offers a behind-the-scenes look at her experiences with six of her sculptures, from the  starting moments of inspiration to their completion. She demonstrates the techniques on a variety of interior and exterior works, both freestanding and wall mounted.     From an undulating wall sculpture's base of chicken wire, plaster bandages, and thinset, to a large outdoor armchair sculpture's base of foam, fiberglass mesh, and concrete, this guide will help to demystify 3-D structures for aspiring sculptors and mosaic artists. A gallery section of  sculptures to enjoy and study offers additional inspiration to mosaic makers and enthusiasts alike.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294866354549,"sku":"9780764352447","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780764352447.jpg?v=1762766296","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780764352447","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
