Pourin' Bronze



We've been pouring bronze this week in my bronze casting class, and I took some pictures to share with everyone.  We've been working with two different types of molds, ceramic shell and investment.  Both are heated up and buried in compacted dirt to try and keep them from exploding when the molten bronze is poured.  All my pieces haven't been poured yet, but you can check out the pouring we did today on my Picasa site.
