Saturday: The artists will present two slide shows in
the foundry building while the kiln is burning out the molds to be poured
the following day (Sunday). The artists will lead Studio Tour participants
through the bronze casting process and present their sculpture in two slide
shows, starting at 12 pm (noon) and at 2 pm. Bronze sculpture will be
exhibited and a co-operative opportunity for buying art will be presented
(Amicus).
SCULPTURE REVEALED students’ work will be on display both days.
Sunday: Studio Tour participants will witness a lost wax
bronze casting process. There will be a bronze pour at 2 pm. During the time
leading up to the pour, people can see the preparations (opening of the
kiln, digging the pit and the ramming up and the securing of molds in the
pouring pit). A small sculpture will be "broken out" after the pour to show
the cast bronze contents of the mold. Artists’ work will be on display
around the studio and they will be available for questions. The studio tour
will end promptly at 4pm.

Statement
Tom Jay and Sara Mall Johani are artists with a
combined experience of over 60 years. THE LATERAL LINE BRONZE CASTING STUDIO
is a sculpting / teaching facility. Tom and Sara Mall
have over 30 public sculptures in the region as well as in numerous private
collections. They teach a complete sculpture / bronze casting course -
SCULPTURE REVEALED - to both beginners and professional artists. The next
four-month long class begins in November 2005 and takes the participant
through modeling, molding, waxes, casting and patination. The students end
up with their own sculpture in bronze and the skills to do it again. As

Line Studio are available annually. A six month individual apprenticeship is
available (May to October only)
