I The Bronze
Bronze ingots are placed in a holding
tank with a capacity of more than
350 pounds. The metal is then
filtered through dividers, where the
melting begins. While the bronze
goes through the three-hour melting
process, the sculptures are placed in
special ovens to bring them to the
same temperature as the bronze and
to crystalize the ceramic mold. Once
the bronze is ready, it is poured into
the secondary mold.
J
Breaking The Mold
After cooling, the artisans break the
casting mold away from the bronze
and the statue is sand blasted to
remove any remaining pieces of
the mold.
