Metal spinning
Metal spinning is the process of pushing a sheet of metal over a given shape. For this a metal rod is used, lead by the human hand. The metal tool pushes and stretches the metal to go over the desired form.
Lip shaping
Our metal bowls are particularly challenging as they have a freehand turned lip. This lip is used to locate the metal bowl ontop of the glass vase.
Finishing
The surface of our metal bowls is linished, which means it is sanded with fine paper leaving concentric lines on the surface. This surface is finished with a fine antique wax.
We can also oxidise the surface, a process of rapidly ageing the metal to a ripe patina.
