King of the Beasts? A bald eagle – at least at this year’s suissetec Congress in Biel. Marco Martin Schuler impressed the judges with his entry and won the Creativity Competition for metalworker apprentices.
Every year, up-and-coming metalworkers put their skills to the test in the suissetec Creativity Competition. Apprentices must design and build a piece, whether a practical object, a picture, or a sculpture, using at least two different types of sheet metal. This year, participants brought the theme “Into the Animal Kingdom” to life with creative flair and technical precision, all within a 100-hour work limit.
