Progress 1

Began by stretching the centre of the circular piece of aluminium on the sand bag to approximate a dome like shape to loosely fit over the object.

Once it roughly fit over my laser cut object, the curving of different edges were marked out and refined wth a wedge like hammer over the semi-sphere steel mould.

Progress after the first workshop session, the skin basically covers the object however the skin does not sit closely, as apparent in the photos. The edge of the skin doesn't lie on the surface of the object and needs to be brought in and shrunk further to fit the rock shape.
