Bell Foundry Christoph

This beautiful project has an interesting backstory as the basis for the sculptural design of this tower feature was the brainchild of Augustana Emeritus Professor of Art Steve Thomas; our part was to make modest adjustments to the structure to accommodate musically tuned cast bronze bells. This bell sculpture stands at the top of the campus green, near to the recently renovated and expanded chapel; the campus green gently slopes downward toward the football stadium several hundred yards away. The bells will ring out a Westminster clock chime and hour strikes, and peals for celebratory occasions, and for liturgical bell rings too.

The sculpture will be 48' tall and the largest bell is nearly 1500 lbs.

We’re pleased to create this project and look forward to hearing bells ring on this strikingly beautiful campus for the enjoyment of all who hear.
