CASTING IN BRONZE An image of the plaque is projected onto the wax to assist in carving. A close-up of the calligraphic carving. The wax original is burned out of a ceramic built-up mold. The bronze is heated to 2000 F. The crucible is lifted out of the furnace. The Bronze is poured into the molds. Bronzes ready to be placed in the sidewalk. This work was done in Michael Metcalf's Sculpture II class at WNMU.   Home of the Sidewalk Solar System
