1/2 way through the foundry process



Once all the molds were made they were sent to the foundry and waxes were poured. The waxes are then brought back to the studio to be cleaned up. So here is Dick, gone to pieces! Now that the wax pieces are cleaned they are sent back to the foundry and they are gated up to get ready for the next steps in the lost wax method of bronze casting. I am so excited that Richard Hathaway is well on his way to becoming a bronze sculpture.
