aluminum casting
Fire Lab cast 100 aluminum flowers for Wave Pool's Armory Show in New York. For the lost wax cast aluminum process, Jamie added gaiting systems and created investment molds out of silica sand for 100 wax flowers. He then dewaxed the molds in the kiln, poured molten metal into them and let them cool before demolding and applying red dye oxide for petina.
