One Artist’S Experimental Approach To Sculpture, John J. Smith Iv

A proper definition for cold connection is attachment of one piece of material to another piece of material without use of heat.
Historical reference of the uses of cold connections by prehistoric man, early civilizations of man, through modern times is included …
