Raising (metalwork)
Raising is a metalworking technique whereby a sheet of metal is formed into a bowl or other hollow object by repeated sequences of hammering and annealing of the metal, thereby stretching it into the desired shape. This technique was used in creating medieval armour, and is also used to create fine silverware.
