From clay to wax for molding
I honestly believe the hardest work is at the foundry, it takes hard work by a lot of people to bring a bronze from clay. Sculpting is the fun part. Intense, but so fun.
From wax to brilliant bronze
This was the last day at the foundry. I chose to forego traditional patina and keep the brilliant bronze pure. It will patina naturally over time.
