<item_type_metadata:creation purpose>The object was created for sale, and stands on exhibition in the workshop, until visitors buys it. </item_type_metadata:creation purpose>
<item_type_metadata:technique>Tor-Vegard forges the metall pieces in a coal forge, then welds the pieces together. The practitioner finishes the object  with treating and brushing the surface. </item_type_metadata:technique>
<item_type_metadata:material source>The metal comes from a distributor in Harstad.</item_type_metadata:material source>
<item_type_metadata:conecept>The practitioner is inspired by people around him, and their posture and manners influence his artwork. Many of the human-figures resemble local figures. In the workshop, visitors can observe the  manufacturing. Tor-Vegard creates an atmosphere while working, by building connection and entertaining the visitors. That model of experience based visit also creates a will to buy. </item_type_metadata:conecept>
<item_type_metadata:production quality>Small scale of production. That product is not the main focus of Tor-Vegards profile. The human sculptures are his design, and he enjoys creating them. He often gets direct orders on them from visiting tourists. </item_type_metadata:production quality>
