BEIL0014 - Digital Making

The Torus The torus was one of the more complex projects.  The aim was to get the sheet two be shaped on two opposite planes One being the bend running the entire length of the sheet and the other running across the shorter width of the sheet  The gully shape running along the middle of the sheet was made by hitting it with a mallet. This created the initial bend in the sheet Following this the edges were rolled on the english wheel to shape it compress the metal and shape outer edges 

The Bowl  The bowl was the easiest of all the projects. The sheet was cut into a circle to allow us to shape the sheet into a bowl shape in the later stages The sheet was first hit on the outside on a stump to create the folded edge Following this, the middle sections were hit on a sand bag to hollow out the centre  Imperfections were hit out with mallets and then the bowl was rolled to flatten the bowl and provide a smoother finish
