I blogged on pouring bronze back in April and I thought that I'd share the results with everyone. I've been working on a few different pieces, but the real focus of my work has been this statue of a free diver. It's based on a photo by Zena Holloway entitled "75 metres". It's finished with a sulfurated potash (liver of sulfur) patina to give it a darker finish and hopefully to convey a sense of depth. I'm thinking about adding a wooden base, maybe some black walnut or something dark but I'm not 100% sure about that. I really enjoyed the class, it was great to have a class that wasn't all about oceanography, and the professor, Dan Richolt was awesome.
