Making Sculpture from Scrap Metal - Peter Parkinson

Scrap metal sculpture turns discarded, unlikely materials into striking works of art, offering a creative outlet that's as accessible as it is rewarding. This book explores both the philosophy and the craft, looking behind the finished pieces at a rich and often underappreciated corner of the sculpture world. It covers everything needed to get started, including where to source scrap metal, how to identify different types, and the core metalworking techniques involved. Creative approaches and the many forms sculpture can take are explored in depth, alongside practical guidance on making, finishing, and installing finished pieces, all illustrated with 108 colour photos throughout.

Written by Peter Parkinson, a designer and maker who studied Industrial Design at the Royal College of Art before discovering blacksmithing in 1979. He went on to found a BA course in Metals, training a new generation of blacksmiths, before leaving teaching to work full-time as an artist blacksmith.
