“The Book of Knowledge” bronze relief sculpture installed at Bernal Heights San Francisco Public Library

Artworks Foundry had one more project accomplished this last week!

“The Book of Knowledge”,  is a project designed by the artistic team Precita Eyes Muralists (Susan Cervantes, Suaro Cervantes, Elaine Chu, Dan Machiarini, and Marina Perez Wong) and may be the only mural wall relief sculpture to successfully combine painted, fired ceramic tiles with bronze ever!

Artworks Foundry was involved in all the steps of this project, from the fabrication of the mold, passing through the lost wax process, casting and final patina.

According to the artist, the official opening will probably be in the second week of March of 2013.

If you would like to check it out, the Bernal Heights Public Library is located at 500 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110.

You can see more information at the San Francisco Public Library’s website.
