The creation of the blister was a delicate process that needed you to place a metal sheet in between 2 wooden stencils. Each stencil was shaped differently and allowed us to choose what shape we wanted our blister to be. The mallet was the tool that I found easiest to shape with as the small end made the fine details stand out and shaped the edges very well, while the thick end was what gave the middle its depth and general look.

Tin Making

The Task was to create 2 tins in pairs (a tin each) that would hopefully in the end sit on top of each other flush. Conrad and I started off buy using the same stencil and curve on the edges, this would ensure as much accuracy as possible. The tin was the hardest module yet as the metal broke very easily and would pinch, this cause me to restart my project twice. Conrad and I came in to the workshop together after we already had made progress on our tins to stretch and shrink our tins to the others specifications. Ultimately, we created 2 tins that resemble each other but found it very hard for them to sit perfectly.
