I made my bowl using a sand bag and a radius nylon mallet. Firstly I scored a 15cm diameter circle onto the aluminium and cut it out with metal cutters.
Then I drew two circles onto the metal to use as guides when stretching and pinching the metal.
The fab lab was closed when I went in to finish my bowl so I didn't have access to the English Wheel to smooth my bowl out. So instead I decided to use the metal hammer on a T-Dolly and give it a hammered effect.
After making the shape I liked I needed to trim the edges to make the bowl sit flat when upside-down. I then filed the edges until smooth with a metal file.
Below are photos of the finished product with the hammered effect.
