MAKE A METAL PLAQUE

Series: Arts and crafts series

Duration: 1R

Creator: Iowa Theatrical & Television Corporation

Format: 16mm

Sound: Silent

Description: Produced by Art films and directed by Elias Katz. The demonstration is by Florence Ludins. First we are shown the necessary sketch and how the artist makes a preliminary study on paper and it is next traced to the metal. The surface is raised by pressing the back of the design with wire tools and clarified by pressing them with a lollypop stick. Hammering is done with a taper; the screen goes blank and then we see materials for mounting an etched design and we see how to mount an etched plaque. The plaque is polished with Bon Ami. We see wood, hammer and nails, for mounting and the mounting is done.
