decorated.
2. Enhanced and decorated finished products help maintain their durability to harsh
elements.
3. Finished products that are enhanced or decorated to beautify the product itself.
4. More opportunities for our Filipino workers.
5. Local products can be developed locally and internationally.

and offices.

Methods of Enhancing/Decorating Bamboo, Wood, and Metal products:

Wood craft and bamboo craft can be enhanced using a variety of methods and
techniques. These include:

1. Woodturning – is a process of using a lathe to make various forms and shapes of

wood.
2. Hand Carving - is considered a woodcraft in which a sharp object is used to create
designs on the wood. Various textures and surfaces can be created using this
technique. Tools, such as chip carving knife, gouges, and chisels are used.

3
 3. Pyrography – is considered an art using a fire or heat to decorate wood or leather.
4. Flocking Technique – lines the interior of drawers and boxers with a soft velvety
finish.
“Flocking” is a decoration process that enhances the way a wide variety of
products are experienced by making ordinary surfaces seem far more
magical and special.
“Flocking” is the process of depositing millions of little individual cut fiber
particles (called “flock”) onto the surface of an article for the purpose of
increasing the tactile sensation, aesthetics, color and appearance.

Flocking is used in many ways. One example in modeling where a grassy texture
may be applied to a surface to make it look more realistic.

5. Inlaying – combines several techniques that involve inserting decorative pieces into a
base object to incorporate new designs on the original product.
6. Gilding – is considered as a decorative technique in which powder is applied on
wood or other materials to give a thin coating of gold. Methods of this technique
include gluing, chemical gilding, and electroplating.
7. Staining – is used to color wood to give an illusion of texture. This may come in two
varieties.
a. Pigment Based Stain
b. Dye Based Stain
8. Painting – is considered the simplest way of decorating wood since there is a variety
of colors that you can choose from. One may also add a lacquer finish to make it
shinier and glossy.

Metal Craft Enhancing Techniques

The following are some techniques used to enhance or add design elements
on metal products.

1. Engraving – is a method of transferring a design on metal using a hardened steel

tool called burin or graver to cut into the surface of the metal.

4
 2. Etching - is a process used to make designs or pictures on a metal plate by using
acid that produces corrosive action. In modern manufacturing, strong chemicals
are used on other types of materials.

HOW ETCHINGS ARE MADE:

Here are the essentials of the etching process:

a. Like with engraving and dry point, etching begins with a metal plate, most
commonly copper.
b. Acid - resistant wax - called the ground, is applied to the entire surface of
the plate.
c. The artist scratches an image into the ground using a burin (needle),
exposing the metal underneath.
d. Once the image is complete, the plate is submerged in an acid.
e. The acid bites away at the exposed metal, creating recessed lines on the
plate.
f. The plate is removed and cleaned.
g. The plate is inked. Ink fills the lines on the plate created by the acid.
h. The excess ink is removed so ink only remains in the recessed lines.
i. Dampened paper is placed over the plate and put through a printing
press.
j. The press squeezes the paper and the plate together, impressing an
inked image onto the paper.
k. Additional impressions can be created by re-inking, cleaning, and putting
the plate through the printing press again.
It was a complex and involved process, but it did not allow artists to craft and mass
produce prints of incredible clarity and quality.

3. Metal enhancing media – such as metal paints, copic markers and antiquing kits
give color to the metal product. Metal paints may be applied using a brush or
spray.
4. Texturing and Embossing – in these techniques, you will need hammers, metal
stamps, stencils, and other materials to create imprints on the metal. Though
there are new technologies used to emboss a metal with different textures, a
hammer and nail can still be used to create your own design.
