About Shen Xinpei
From learning his craft with his father as a boy to decades of repeated forging, grinding, and assembly, his understanding of materials, firing, grain, and form comes from every actual creation.
In decades of sword-making practice, each piece requires a fresh consideration of its purpose, aesthetic, and the available craftsmanship. What truly defines a piece is not a fixed style, but the relationship between the material's condition, the form's proportions, and the overall expression.
These experiences also form the basis for commissioning custom pieces today: first, understanding the use case and aesthetic preferences, then determining the form, materials, and fittings, rather than simply replicating a historical piece.
Family tradition brings not only a set of procedures, but also observations accumulated over a long period when dealing with materials, and a judgment of the overall proportion of the work and its relationship with the fittings.
He began learning the art of forging Longquan swords from his father during his youth, starting with the processes and workshop practices.
Joined the sword production team of Longquan Ironware Production Cooperative and has been involved in sword making for a long time.
Continuously apply experience to practical production processes such as forging, grinding, and assembly.
His early works won the Zhejiang Provincial Arts and Crafts Innovation Design Award.
