get some plastercine and hit it with a hammer in your flat, it behaves in the same way hot metal will just is a alot quicker and requires less force. when i was doing my degree in artist blacksmithing i had a block of plastercine and always every night when i wasnt at the forge or needed to clarify something in my head or figure something out i used a small hammer or big dont matter and plastercine and it was invaluable!
an the good thing is you can take plastercine anywhere an mess around always learning :) -
And yeah usiing a hammer and forge tools along with plastercine is a easy way to see what will happen if you do certain things to hot steel its a quick easy way to test ideas and go through stages of production an overcome obsticles in the making process
-
The design process is simple :) research, analiyse, design, develop, sample and model, access any needed changes as a result of sampling and modelling then make!! And enjoy! I hope this is off some use :)
-
Not long now everyone!!
Is there going to be a theme or a project we all help to produce or is it just forge what you wish?? -
