Weekly Update

This week I decided to make moulds from the first 7 roundels before the clay started to dry out and shrink. The rubber moulds are now ready and I will take resin casts from them in the next few days. These will go of to the foundry to be cast in bronze.

Work has continued on the roundels with a further 3 being completed.
