Process flow of wrought copper sculpture

Wrought copper is a process different from cast copper. It is created on a copper plate. The texture of the copper plate is softened after heating, and the hardness is restored after thrashing. Repeat this process to finally produce a wrought copper relief and a wrought copper sculpture. Waiting for a round carving ceremony or other life and industrial supplies. With the improvement of people's living standards and aesthetic taste, the traditional craft of forging copper is especially popular with designers and the public in the field of arts and crafts.

    Fire, hammer and chisel are the three important elements of wrought copper.

    Small-scale forged copper craftwork or large-scale forged copperwork can be locally processed by high temperature heating generated by oxygen plus acetylene. Large-scale works need to be heated by blast furnace fire. Heating this link is relatively easy. The heated copper plate should be beaten with a leather hammer to smooth it.

    After the raw materials such as rosin and soil in an appropriate ratio are melted in a container, they are poured onto a workbench with a raised edge of 3-5 cm around it to fix the heated copper plate. This method is stronger and stronger than the original sandbag method. Hammer and chisel feel good.

    The use of hammers and chisels is the key to the entire wrought copper process, which is why "wrought copper" is also called "chil copper". Each master of forging copper has hundreds of chisel in various forms. Use these chisel to outline the high and low lines on the copper plate called "tracking". Quick and accurate sampling according to the drawings is a work that will take a few years. , Especially some key parts, such as facial features of characters. Large-scale forged copper works require the cooperation and collective creation of multiple forged copper craftsmen. Some craftsmanship requires the cooperation of the craftsmen to be very tacit. For example, sometimes it is necessary to hang the copper plate, and the masters of copper forging work on both sides of the copper plate at the same time, so that each The staggered lines are perfect.

    After the work is then welded and assembled, polished or old coloring, a wrought copper work is completed.
