My first

Josh and I went to Fire Arts Foundry tonight, where they were giving a bronze pouring demonstration.
When we got there the molds were already ready and they were melting the bronze.

This was the first time either of us had ever seen this.

When the metal was ready and they tipped the crucible I was totally blown away. The color and quality of the molten metal...it took my breath away. I have never seen anything like it. It actually made me cry.
It was more beautiful than I could have imagined...
Even cynical Josh was impressed.

When I came home I find that the 2 pamphlets on metal casting have arrived in the mail.

I might be hooked.
