Fold Forming in the Hongik University Metalwork Curriculum
韩国弘益大学金工系的折叠成型课程
标签：弘益大学, 韩国, 金工教育, 课程
韩国首尔弘益大学金属工艺系自 2000 年代起把折叠成型列为二年级核心单元：学生先在 0.5–1.0 mm 铜片上完成线折、楔折、星折三组强制练习，再以"单折生成系列"提交五件衍生作品；课程硬性要求提交退火温度与次数记录表，训练学生对加工硬化的量化意识。弘大体系与韩国工艺设计文化振兴院资助的驻场工坊衔接，折叠成型因此成为韩国青年金工国际展览上的常见语言。
Since the 2000s the metalwork department at Hongik University, Seoul, has run fold forming as a second-year core module: students first complete three compulsory exercises—line, wedge and star folds on 0.5–1.0 mm copper—then submit five derivatives from a "single-fold generation" brief, with anneal temperature and count logs required. That quantitative grounding in work-hardening links onward to residencies funded by the Korea Craft & Design Foundation, making fold forming a common language among young Korean metalsmiths at international exhibitions.
