To offer readers an up-close and comprehensive look at the process of making a bronze bell, Hue Today Weekly is pleased to present to readers a photo series by Hoang Phuoc, the photographer.
From making the mold and melting the bronze to pouring it into the mold, every stage requires close coordination and absolute precision. Once the mold is removed, the bell undergoes further processing, including rough grinding, intricate decorative carving, and final polishing. Each photograph not only captures a technical stage of the craft, but also pays tribute to the artisans who are working day and night to preserve the traditional craft of the Ancient Capital.
