Fusing ancient techniques with modern design aesthetics, Melting Point pays homage to the tradition of metal casting by presenting the work of five contemporary designers who transform the raw material of metal into refined craft and design objects.
Using a variety of different traditional metal casting methods, Andrew Carvolth, Nathan Martin, Julian Leigh May, Annie Paxton and Chrystal Rimmer reinterpret these techniques through a distinctly modern set of design principles and aesthetics, pushing the materials and processes to their limits in the creation of new objects, shapes and forms.
