Cast: Art and Objects Made Using Humanity's Most

Cast: Art and Objects Made Using Humanity's Most Transformational Process

Featuring exquisite photos of 800 contemporary and historic works, this first-of-its-kind book reveals how the process of castingâ€•pouring material into a moldâ€•has transformed our world through its history and omnipresence. In these image-rich pages, craft, fine art, design, and everyday objects offer us perspectives on castingâ€™s unique possibilities, its place in history, and its role in contemporary object creation. Comprehensive and insightful, the book includes writings on casting as it relates to Art History (by Suzanne Ramljak), Ceramics (by Ezra Shales), Glass (by Susie Silbert), Large Metal (by Joe Becherer), Jewelry (by Jen Townsend), and Alternative Materials (by Elaine King). A multi-disciplinary approachâ€•including everything from traditional lost wax casting in non-ferrous metals to casting rubber, glass, porcelain, plaster, and some very unexpected materialsâ€•makes this an essential resource for artists, craftspeople, historians, designers, and everyone interested in the objects that populate our world.
