breaking molds

going to Fort Bragg this weekend smash some porcelain pouring molds the majority being marine and Aquatic art. my dad's diving buddies in the sixties and seventies wre Karl kopinski and Terry Mass to name a few.
 thought I'd Save a few of them to donate to this site so some trophies could be pored glazed and fired. then the molds to be destroyed. they must be non profit. any interest ?

I think I need a decoder ring...

Do you have any pictures of the molds or art works?

Sounds like there's and interesting story in there.

That's where my mind went. 

 I think it sounds super cool but, not sure I can drive all way to Fort Bragg.

picture I can pull up on my cell phone gallery. viewer discretion is strongly advised. this piece of art is mine and mine only never shall it be reproduced.

still trying to gauge interest. will be stopping in Ukiah on my way over and we'll get a couple pictures of art and post them. Litehaul diving board mold is there also.

You fishing while over here.  I would like to see the artwork. 

I do handbuild ceramics, never tried a slip mold, you ever get to Sac?

didn't see the text till I was halfway to Fort Bragg didnt fish or dive. I believe I'll be going over again this coming weekend there's a couple of his last work in the bisque with glaze already applied. don't know what color the glaze is as they need to be fired one more time. thought these would make good trophies. just need to be fired

I sent in plenty of box tops but my decoder ring still hasn't showed up in the mail.

 no artwork to be smashed only molds to reproduce them

Likely dumb questions, but... Why smash molds? And if molds must be smashed, why do it at Fort Bragg? Why not smash them in your back yard, or at the local neighborhood mold smashing center? Or does the smashing itself have some special significance, like smashing plates at a Greek party? I'm confused.

These are the exact questions running through my head. Someone had to ask...

I really hope this isn't an unfortunate case of "let's go out in the wilderness and shoot guns at our trash".

If it is, PLEASE reconsider...
