The phrase "a method for shaping" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing techniques or processes related to forming or molding something, whether in a physical or abstract sense.
Example: "The artist developed a method for shaping clay that allowed for greater detail in her sculptures."
Alternatives: "a technique for molding" or "a process for forming".
