forged this bad boy during evenings last week with my visiting friend Wilhelm Willi Weyer!
always fun to do some heavy forging to get the head free... 4.2 kg sledge hammer
form inspired by @faramforge work

finished piece of the #150mmchallenge for the @ferrousfestival2019 #measuredmakingexhibition by @herefordanvils
challenging but super fun to transform 150mm of 20mm square bar into a piece of holloware
gets pretty deep when thinking about the small top surface of the bar now beeing the inside surface, and the 4 long sides now beeing the rim of the vessel... #blacksmithing #forging #steel #metalart #metal #art #design #craft #metalgestaltung #metallgestaltung #steneby #hdksteneby #holloware #korpus #vessel #bowl #tableware #contemporary
started the new year in the workshop with the #150mmchallenge for the @ferrousfestival2019 #measuredmakingexhibition by @herefordanvils - upsetting the 20mm square bar down into a puck
- spreaded out into a 3,5mm thick sheet slab
- forged vessel containing the exact amount of scale which got lost during the transformation from solid bar to holloware (100g scale in 370g vessel)

back at home for christmas and finally some time to work through the pictures of the remaining pieces of my Tharsis series.
- Tharsis X, the last one so far with the nicest crack, I think.
---
The cracks in the Tharsis series appear because of a combination of circumstances:
Tensions from cold bending, the enormous punctual heat of the gas torch while melting on the bronze, and the different CTEs of steel and bronze lead to coincidental fractures.
(CTE=coefficient of thermal expansion)
---
"Tharsis" is named after the volcanic region on Mars, which is likely responsible for forming ancient oceans on the red planet 4 billion years ago
---
"Tharsis" is a series of bowl-shaped items, dealing with changes in the origination of objects and a result of the body of work course at @metalarthdk

I duplicated these hot forged pieces in 925 Sterling Silver, but this time with a solder joint and not from one piece of metal, as in the Steel versions, and sold them for the same price at my exhibition. My thinking was that my audience would see that the Steel pieces were made with time and love and the Silver pieces in 20 minutes. The Silver pieces all sold on the first day of the show and the Steel pieces are still collecting dust somewhere.
These pieces were hot forged a Gazillion years ago when I was still a student. Back then, no welding, filing or grinding was really important, now I couldn’t care less. Or maybe I still do. Now I am a teacher at the same school. Thank you @metalarthdk.
The teachers are Professor Heiner Zimmermann @zimmermann_heiner Associate Professor @tbirgersson Lecturer @karlhallberg and our brand new faculty member Lecturer Lina Söderberg will be our team next semester.

'grave marker for a body donor'
the last big project of the first year BA at @metalarthdk was the grave marker project in corporation with Håjums Begravningsplats in Trollhättan (SWE)
----
In memory of the women and men who donated their bodies for the studies of future doctors and thereby served the common good.
