Wholesale The Machinist Sculptor: Industry Meets Craft

Explore machine work as a fine craft through the lens of Chris Bathgate’s pioneering sculpture techniques. • Bathgate utilizes handmade tools; milling, drilling, and turning machines; CNC (computerized numerical controlled) machines; and more to form precisely crafted complex sculptures that capture the imagination and pose exciting questions about how the worlds of technology and craft are intersecting now more than ever. He combines a variety of metals—including steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, and more—to create his sculptures, sometimes adding wood and other materials. • His work illustrates that inspiration often is born out of the need to solve and overcome technical challenges. This book explore the history and craft of machine work through the lens of Bathgate’s pioneering sculptures, and it serves as a contemporary reflection on the modern state of craft. 288 pp | 350+ full-color photos and drawings
