Shaping the Nothingness of the bell

Originally uploaded by librariantech1

So, several weeks later, after the IT Seminar, when we finally had the time, Terry, Pat, Hung, Phuong, Phi and I set out on Saturday morning motorbikes to discover a bronze foundry village in Huế that makes bells. I was determined I would buy a bell, but first I had to find one that sounded right to me. In the village we asked one of the foundry families if we could take a look at their factory.

Here they are making the form for the ‘emptiness’ of a large temple bell.
