Vin's Bells

Menu

I live rural and my back door is generally the port of call! 

I made this 13 kg bell and frame for my backyard. It has a grapevine image which is inspired by the local Riverland viticulture industry which dominates the region. Fittingly, many off the viticulturists are of German descent with strong connections to the Lutheran Church. The Lutheran Church with its German heritage is renowned for its bells and bell making where bells are often poured onsite with ceremonies held to bless new bells.

Below is some pictures showing the assemble of the bell post. All fittings were sand cast.
