Hello Dear friends, I wish you all a very happy New Year and hope that you were able to have a break over the past weeks. It is the first real break that we have taken in a very long time.
Our news from just before Christmas was an order we received for The VI Sound in Bronze. Here are some pictures of her journey to the Foundry at Laurgais. /media/cache/resolve/standard/l/o/lorraine-coffey/blog/12124_dsc-0058.jpg

The process from start to completion will take most of three months. The first part will be taking a mould from the original clay piece and then I will have to make the journey to see the results of the cast in wax sometime in January. Small adjustments can be made at this stage. the next process of creating the bronze and doing the patina will take me up to March. I do enjoy being involved in every stage of the process.
Currently I am working on smaller pieces which I will share with you very soon.
