We had the tour and it was very informative. The guide took time to answer questions and show how things were done in addition to talking about the different parts of the “lost wax” method. He showed actual pieces in all the different stages - pieces were as small as leaves and as large as a 24 inch piece that would be welded to others for a whole sculpture. Good for kids elementary age and older. This is the place that cast the bronze wreaths and other things for the WW II Memorial in DC. We got to see finished 7ft tall elk, and a finished speckled trout that will sell for $50,000. This is a great tour in the midst of a place with majestic scenery.
