Shadow Shot Sunday May 7, 2017

Yesterday evening found us in Phoenix, Oregon

watching sculptors pour bronze into their

lost wax molds....it was awesome to say the least!

 

 

Blasting the wax out of the set molds

 to make room for the molten bronze... 

 

Bronze is being melted inside...

 

Meanwhile the molds are here under

the glass blankets coming up to the same

temperature as the molten bronze... 

 

 

Another view of glass blankets...

 

 

There were about 40 people there to

watch and learn... 

 

 

Carefully pouring molten bronze...

 

Closer look at pouring bronze into the molds...

 

It took about 30-40 minutes for the bronze

inside the molds to cool enough so the

the sculptors could start to break the molds open...

The molds are made by dipping the sculptures into

a type of silica slurry over and over again until

they are thick enough for the bronze pouring.  

 

One example of small sculptures partially

released from the mold.

Huge vegetables....

 

Oodles of plants for the garden....

Railroad District in Ashland, Oreon

Earlier this week we drove up to

Ashland to do some shopping

and to take a break from all our

projects at home. 

Ashland is the home for the 

Oregon Shakespeare Festival

so there is always a lot to see

and do in this busy town.
