Bronze Casting Workshops

Being human for me is to build a life of experiences with a reward of stories to tell, adventures to pass on and share. We all share many things in common as humans. Things that go all the way back to the beginning, to our most ancient ancestors. experience we may most all go through, Birth discovery many ways we share that connect us to each other and with all humanity. Its magic when we first learn to communicate, When we meet our first love When we gather in celebration inside community. Many things we share in common.
Other things only a few become passionate for. My chosen craft, that thing that called to me began at some point roughly 5000 years ago. When some of our ancestors discovered a lump of copper metal at the bottom of the fire pit when cleaning the ash from a communal fire pit or home fire. Thus began the copper age. Not long after somehow someone made the discovery that mixing tin found no where in common with copper ore..

.Someone figured out that to lower the melting point of copper to make bronze just add Tin?
I believe the question as to how that happened is still a mystery at least it is to me.
But they did, and I am grateful for their discovery. I am grateful for their work and to feel connected to that same experience. For every challenge of every attempt at ,making something beautiful from the gifts of the earth we stand on.
We make things here. We live adventure and we share in our skills and make the stories come to life. We make objects to gift to our future ancestors that show them our passion and that we were alive so they too can wonder about us as as we connect with the wonder about our past.
