Each bowl is carefully shaped requiring multiple steps to achieve the desired result.during production raw materials such as copper and tin are melted in a furnace. The molten metal is poured into moulds to create base forms for different weights and sizes. These are then cut into metal discs of the required thickness.for the hammering process four to five of these metal discs are stacked heated until red hot and worked by experienced artisans while the metal remains soft and malleable. This process of heating and hammering is repeated until the desired shape and size are achieved. As a result each hammered singing bowl differs slightly in diameter and proportions.working the bowl can only be done while the metal is hot; when it cools it loses flexibility and becomes brittle with a risk of cracking. After the basic shape has been formed further heating and finishing follow to refine the proportions. Finally the singing bowls are engraved and polished on both the inside and outside for the finishing touch.
