Something from last year




Here are a few images of a terracotta sculpture I did last year. I'm currently working on finishing it up so that it can be fired.

  2. Thanks Chin! This piece is about 17" tall and took 30 hours so far. Depending on what I do with the base it could be considered finished or not except for preparing it for the kiln which should take a couple of hours. For work cast in bronze, the foundry usually needs at least four to six weeks. Their whole process is extremely labor intensive and requires a few different artists with different specialties including mold making and metalwork. The metalworkers actually have to resculpt quite a lot when they reassemble the separately cast pieces.
