How we made the project:
This is the image we used.
To start off the project we picked a picture on the internet and used the projector to put it onto the whiteboard. We then traced it on to a big white page.
Next we used carbon paper to transfer the design onto the copper.
We then used small chisels to chase the outline onto the metal, to keep the metal soft we had to heat it up at the forge. The metal was cooled down by throwing buckets of water on it. We then used chisels and pieces of wood to push out the picture from the back. When we were happy with the picture we cleaned the copper and applied a lacquer finish and well done to the students that took part in the project !!!
