Before the publication of this book there was a dearth of competent instructional books on the technical aspects of sculpture. Mr Rich, a noted sculptor himself, remedied that need with this clear, comprehensive and precise guide to every aspect of sculpting in wax, plaster, metal, stone, wood, and other materials. Contending that "a knowledge of materials is the foundation upon which real achievement is based," he presents a comprehensive treatment of the origins, nature, properties and characteristics of various sculpting materials and the methods employed in their use.
