Explore the revolution of metal casting as English sculptor Geoffrey Clarke unveils the power of plastics in this 1964 film. Plastics transformed a technique practised and unchanged for more than two thousand years. Clarke is famous for the flying cross at the pinnacle of Coventry Cathedral, but his work ranges from abstract forms and architectural commissions for windows, to a silver altar cross and decorative panels for a luxury liner. Clarke was commissioned by the Brigade of Guards for their chapel in London, UK, which was rebuilt after it was destroyed by a flying bomb during World War II.
