This DVD-ROM provides the visual delight and instruction found in an exhibition. An exceptionally wide range of items, accompanied by detailed labelling, can be seen in full-screen with a zoom facility for close viewing of details. Users may view pieces according to types of works, or construct more specific exhibition themes of their choice based on countries, materials or techniques. There are five essays by Kenneth Qucikenden, covering an introductory overview which contextualizes fine metalwork, an analysis of various influences on the design of fine metalwork, techniques, materials and finally a survey of the main types of objects produced by fine metalworkers. There are also a large number of video interviews with designer-makers, critics, gallery owners, curators and exhibition visitors.
