Foundry

This is long overdue. Here are the letters I cast last semester in my foundry class. In case it isn't clear, they spell out the word "Brooklyn" because I live in BK, baby, and to commemorate my time here in some type of permanence it was either bronze or a tattoo so I opted for bronze.


Sorry for the shady picture quality; now that my time at Pratt is coming to a close I am realizing that Photo I might have been beneficial for me.

A note of advice for future foundry participants: if your pieces are somewhat thin like mine are, try to get them cast first in the pour. Mine were poured last in a round of four when the bronze had cooled down too much to move easily, and you can see the gap in the "B" where it didn't flow all the way. I kind of like the way it looks, but I'm pretty into sloppiness.

P.S. To Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline: Stop rocking me so hard; I can't take it.
