News clipping from the Pikes Peak Bulletin about one of the bronze pours. We did two bronze pours and the Business of Arts Center in Manitou Springs

Setting up shot, this is what we started with, parking spaces. It is amazing how little space we needed to set up a portable bronze foundry.

This is all of us starting to set up the portable foundry at the Business of Arts Center. We used a part of their parking lot.

Setting up....looks like we made some progress.

We eventually had caution tape up to barricade people off from our work area, it was dangerous stuff

This is our instructor lighting the furnace. Way to go Mark!

The gang is loading bronze into the crucible to start getting it melted

Bronze ingot before it goes into the crucible

Here a couple of us are gearing up in safety gear

This is me, no comments please, the safety gear is not one size fits all

This is where the top of the molten bronze must be cleaned before we pour the bronze

This was utterly amazing, I was stunned by the fiery beauty.

Here is a closer image of the crucible glowing in the evening, fresh from the furnace

Here we are pouring the bronze into the molds.

Here is another view of the molten bronze being poured.

This is an incredible shot of the molten bronze. Thanks Rich! Richard is my son, I think he has a future in photography.

Another view of the molten bronze being poured

These are bronze spills after sand has been thrown over it. We still have to be very careful not to step on the spills.

This is the bronze as it cools, we placed pennies on the still hot bronze for luck. They were supposed to flare up into green flames, they did not.

This is one of my bronze sculptures frosh from the mold and still too hot to handle.

This is most of us afterwards, Jack is missing from the pic because he was taking the picture.
