On Thursday, April 13^th, MWCC students participated in the art department’s annual bronze pouring. This year’s pouring was led by Thomas Matsuda, who is an Art Professor and Chair of the Department. Matsuda helped students prepare their own ceramic molds which they could then pour bronze into.

The molten bronze is removed from the furnace.

The bronze is then poured into the ceramic molds, held in place in barrels of sand.

The left over bronze is then poured out into molds to form ingots, which will be saved and melted down in next year’s pour.

The melting pot is then placed back in the furnace to melt more bronze and repeat the process.
