Zastrow Metal art can bring life to its surroundings.  A gate or railing may so perfectly adorn a garden or building that the place would seem bare and ordinary without it.  This book is about that kind of metal and the artists who dream it and create it.  Interviews with East Coast artists tell how they started, what inspires them, and how they meet the challenges of the work.  Color photos show examples of gates, railings and fountains that beautifully complement their settings.  These smiths love what they do, and do it against all odds, leading and leaving lives enriched.
