How to make a metal sculpture

Metal sculpture is one of the most popular handicrafts in modern times. It is made through the processes of impression, filling, trimming, shaping and forming. The finished handicrafts show beauty, flexibility, and freshness in different aspects. It gives people a refreshing feeling, but for this kind of handicraft, it must be maintained frequently in the later stage to ensure its perfect appearance.

The female mold requires a certain thickness of the material for the mold making process, and then it is formed with a wooden beam on the outside. The uniform contact surface is to remove the mud blank in the female mold, and then use the filler to trim the mold, and finally cut the surface of various shapes with copper or stainless steel material, and directly beat the mold on the female mold. The copper plate and stainless steel plate must be supported by steel bars. Since forging is mainly made by pure handwork, the producer can make full use of the extensibility of the metal material in the process of forging and hammering, and flexibly exert the ability of artistic creation, so that the plate has a unique texture effect, thereby adding handwork. The simplicity of the hammering produces a heavy beauty.　　The technique of forging craftsmanship represents a complementary artistic style formed by the artistic achievements of people's manual labor in the modern industrialized society and the mechanized beauty of the previous industrial age.
