Metal spinning

production process intervention

Metal bending

Adding ridges to the metal forcing samples to create interesting structures

Rainbow effect while heating copper before spinning

Really excited to do more research about this effect

After quite some practice I almost got it to fully cover the mold

Experimenting with the "bendability"of metal, how could I make it appear like a "soft" material?

Embossing, soft structure with swaging machine

Pressed it down, liquified look

Using tempering for pattern making, fixing the flames onto the metal

Tempering copper

Fully burned and reheated again, front

Deforming, let the metal organically form

More rainbow copper

All the heating samples together

Combining spinning lathe with ridges made by a mold

Swaging machine couldn't make big enough ridges (max is 1,5 cm)

So I made molds out of metal tubes

Tried out different forms
