1. First of all is the scheme design of stainless steel sculpture: this is mainly for the need to design customers, in stainless steel sculpture design to consider its environment, so as to determine its content, form, color, etc., to design a complete set of stainless steel sculpture scheme.

2. Next is the production of small clay sculptures: complex or large-scale stainless steel sculptures need to be made according to the plan of small clay sculptures, such as small manuscripts after the completion of the small scale enlargement, and some stainless steel sculptures need to design the main support, which requires the stainless steel sculptor master to understand the load it can bear, ruler Inch, shape and so on;

3. then turn over the mold: turn the mud draft into hard material mold, usually using plaster mold.
