These are some “process” shots of a residency I did at the Arts Industry Program of the Kohler Company, and the John Michael Kohler Art Center, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin during 1988. I was priveleged to be one of the first artists to work in the cast iron foundry there. The experience and the people were amazing! I remember David Phelps, all those great guys at the foundry who helped me, and my wonderful lifelong friend, Ruth Kohler. THANK YOU!!!
We used a bonded sand mold system to cast the iron. Here are the steps on a Hippo, a Jackrabbit, and a Wolf.
