For me, an  important landmark in Valdepeñas is the great sculpture 'Tribute to D. Quixote' of Mr. Venancio Blanco. We took advantage  of the visit to the town to enjoy this marvellous work...

 

Casting in August

'Where is the water? - Taxicola torquatus'

Model in wax

This year I have cast three times... that's a record.
The first time, in March,  I cast 10 pieces in 16 casting trees.
The second time, in June, 6 copies of a small format engraving.
And the third time is this one in which we cast 8 small format engravings of two different models, the common stonechat and the leaves below and three pieces of my friend Esmeralda Durán, who took part in this cast and in the March one.

Interior of the furnace with two pieces of microcast.
