Flowing Bowl

Forge Project The project is a forged steel piece created during my apprenticeship at a blacksmith workshop in the Allgäu region of Germany. It showcases rounded, flowing forms designed to demonstrate that metal isn't limited to rigid and harsh appearances. Through proper forging techniques, steel can exhibit dynamic and organic qualities. The surface has been burnished, which enhances the organic aesthetic while providing protection to the metal. This work challenges traditional perceptions of metalwork, revealing how a material commonly associated with industrial strength can be transformed through traditional craftsmanship into something that appears almost fluid and natural.
