Bronze Work in progress

I spent a few days at a small foundry called 'Boudicca Studio" in Pretoria. They have been really good to me allowing me to 'own' the process by showing me step by step how to create a bronze piece. Besides the sculpting, i have helped mould the waxes, cleaned them up and lastly cleaned the actual bronze. I will be going back soon to do the patina.
