There is now a great revival of creative smithing in Britain. How did it com about and what are the influences that helped to open up the craft to 20thc. design?

PART 1: Looks back to the past - to Art Nouveau, Gaudi, and the ironwork of Charles Rennie Mackintosh - explores the more recent input from Europe and America: follows the formation and development of the British Artist Blacksmith Association and seeks to define Modern Ironwork.

PART II: Consists of monographs on eighteen of our finest Designer Metalsmiths and sculptors, including:

Terrence Clark, Alan Dawson, Alan Evans, Stuart Hill, James Horrobin, Giuseppe Lund, Charles Normandale, Peter Parkinson, David Petersen, Walenty Pytel and Antony Robinson.

Look into their minds - find out how they arrive at their designs and tackle the problems of their commissions. Discover what modern techniques they employ.

Architects will find here a comprehensive survey of the contemporary ironwork available, giving an insight into the strengths and various styles of major smiths creating ironwork for our own time.
