A method of producing a winding from electric conductors received in slots formed in a stator core has the steps of forming a first copying surface at an end of each slot on the end surface of the stator core so as to be curved along a bending direction of the electric conductors, a step of forming a second copying surface on each of bending members, inserting each bending member into an area between two slots adjacent to each other such that the second copying surface is curved along the bending direction of the electric conductors and a successively-curved shape is formed out of both the first copying surface and the second copying surface, and bending each electric conductor along the first copying surface and the second copying surface in the successively-curved shape.
