John DeAndrea Sculpture Casting in Studio

Yesterday we casted Tara in the studio. She had been casted when she was 14 in a full leotard. I had not done a casting since John had his studio above mine at the Sash Mill in Santa Cruz. It was exciting and fun to do it again working with Lorraine, Jesse his long time right hand and Sebastian and Diane. Here are a few images.

Favorite Design Magazine Communication Arts
Found the issue we judged on line with a new online magazine section. I met the nicest people at that event. Stayed friends with Hollis, who is super talented. The others as well. It was a life changing experience and something I will always remember. If you ever get the chance to do it. DO IT!
