Cloche
Bell
sound sculpture - 2012 / 2013
Making his bell in Villedieu-les-Poëles ...
From 22 to 30 April 2013, I was greeted at the foundry Cornille Havard in Villedieu-les-Poëles (France) o make the decor of CLOCHE. I returned from May 24 to 30 to attend the casting, tuning, patinas and finishes. In short, for the birth of CLOCHE ...
I would like to thank Paul Bergamo, director of the foundry Cornille-Havard and his team for their hospitality, their expertise and research to promote the contemporary decor of bells.
Pictures to see the different steps in the manufacture of CLOCHE (on my french website) :
- decor lost wax and mold
- casting (video will be posted later)
- demoulding and chasing
- tuning, patina and finishes
- and finally : champagne !
