Bronze Age

Last night we had the first Bronze pour in the casting department at CIADC!

Julia was on hand to help Susan prepare her mold. . . .

Dominick preparing the troops. . . .

. . . a leaping flame early in the pour . . .

. . . Susan battling some breakout . . .

. . . and a smokey conclusion.

Earlier this evening, the mold was broken, and while the results weren't precisely what was intended, they were not without a charm of their own.
