Holly Young Visits The Monastery

This week Holly Young Visited the Monastery to take a mold of the Silpi forge for one of the seven bronze statues which will be displayed next to Iraivan temple. The statues depict Gurudeva's Inspiration for Iraivan temple, becoming a reality through the patience and precision of the skilled stone carvers.

Here she is finishing the rubber mold, which is followed by a hard, white plastic mold for support.

The two center bronzes are complete with two more coming along nicely.
