I'm working on forging spoons from ingots cast in Delft clay. I started out with a lollipop-shaped form cut from a paint stirring stick. After an impression is made in the clay, I poured in about 1.3 oz of sterling silver. The rough ingot is then hammered on an anvil until the thickness is reduced to about 16 ga on the handle and 20 ga for the spoon bowl. The pictures show a raw ingot, an ingot that has been hammered and a finished spoon.
