The phases turning copper into a work of art

Processed and  rendered into sheet from using cylinders called rolling mils in the factories. The hammering masters cut these sheets into shapes suitable for the item they are going to make and shape it using only hammer and solder. Pasha Braziers, ewers, one piece vases, semovers, coffeepots, capped rice plates, trays, palace vases are copper items that have come out of the hands of our skilled masters.

The proficiency in this work depends on proper shaping and the number of hammer strokes. It is said that around 3000 strokes are given per square centimeter. Just like the number of loops in carpet making, the value of a copper item is measure by the number of hammer strokes. Frequent use of turning-lathe descreases quality, because sheets used with turning-lathes are unnecessarily thin.

The copper items shaped by our hammering masters are delivered to the decorators for engraving and ornamentation work.
