📎 Information on the process of hammering Tibetan singing bowls

The hammering process for singing bowls is entirely done by hand. Each singing bowl is hammered following a series of procedures that will give the bowl its perfect shape.

During the manufacturing process, the different metals that make up the bowl are melted in a furnace (copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, and silver) depending on the type of bowl desired, such as bronze bowls or bowls made of the seven metals. The molten metal is then poured into a mold to obtain a metal disc of the desired size and thickness.

At this stage, the metal disc is modeled after being weighed and measured very precisely and then classified according to the type of bowl to come.

Regarding the actual hammering process, 4 or 5 discs are stacked on top of each other and then heated until they become incandescent.

The incandescent metal disc formed is then hammered by skilled craftsmen until the metal is no longer hot; then it is heated again and hammered again.

These two operations, heating and hammering, continue until the desired shape and size are obtained (which explains why hammered singing bowls can have differences of a few centimeters from each other).

During the hammering of the bowls, the metal disc should be struck while still hot, because it is more flexible.

Once cooled, the metal loses its flexibility and becomes increasingly brittle, making it prone to cracking if struck. After achieving the desired shape, the actual bowl-making process begins.

Each bowl is brought to the desired shape and size, renewing the heating and hammering phase if necessary.

Once the desired shape and size are achieved, the bowl is hammered to refine it. The individual bowls are then chiseled and finished inside and out.
