A torus is a three dimensional (3D) donut-shaped geometric shape.  This class seemed to be an experiment in a sense to determine the best method of achieving this complex shape The Process:  Step 1: after many attempts at different methods i achieved the shape by using the wood block as a t emplate. The notion behind this was that you would work with a partner, They would hold the aluminium down while you hit the aluminium into the groove that was in the block which would give that donut shape.   Step 2: After creating the basic shape i took it off the block and used the sand bag to being to alter the shape making it deeper give it a more dramatic inner curve   Step 3: once i was happy with the depth of the torus i then use a metal pipe to create a nice radius for the ouster parts of the shape.  Step 4: once that was complete it was then about time to create an extra curve to finish of the shape. I began using a dolly on the very edge...

Week 2 of our course - we started this week by gathering materials. This lead us to the beginning of    making our bowl, which was a very different process then i had ever seen or thought of. The process: Step 1 - this step was the setting up the layout of our bowl. we had to draw circles close to the centre and then drawn another one close to the edge of the material. This informed us about where we should be trying to hit in order to create our bowl shape. Step 2 - We began hitting the bowl with the pointy end of the hammer so that it could create tucks in the aluminium. This meant that we could being to shape the bowl and start getting a bit of depth into it Step 3 - after we had shaped the bowl we then started to sculpt it, meaning that we were trying to get it a bit deeper and then, began to work the material out. This was done on the sand bag  Step 4 - After we were happy with the shape we then put it on a dolly which meant that we could attempt to ...
