Lands End Sculpture Center

,

There’s a wonderful bronze foundry in our town called the Lands End Sculpture Center. Today, we got a tour. Here you can see them moving the crucible full of hot metal, ready to pour it into molds.

The molds are pre-heated so they won’t crack. Then they’re lined up, ready for filling. The molten metal gets poured into molds to form the casting.
