Joan of Arc project

Peter Lupori sculpted the Joan of Arc piece, for joan of Arc church in Minneapolis.

[Pics click to enlarge]

The clay/foam model has rubber/plaster mold created around it. Separate wax pieces will be cast from the rubber mold.

After being cast in separate pieces, the statue is tacked back together after being "broken-out" of the plaster mold.
