Central Casting

It's an ancient process

and the end result is one of these.

So, why are there so many bronze sculptures in Loveland? Well, we went on a little trip to Loveland to find out!

This nice lady told us about wax chasing.

There are many steps to making a bronze statue. At this bronze casting shop (Art Castings of Colorado) they take an artist's work from a rubber mold and weeks or months later turn it into a huge bronze statue! The artist gets a call from the studio that the work is ready to be shipped... "It costs THAT much to ship to New York?"
