Thomas Walsh

Thomas Walsh's interest in art was nurtured during his early years with visits to the Art Institute of Chicago and continued in academic programs at the University of Michigan. He was fortunate to participate in the metal casting renaissance in this country and pioneered the adaptation of the ceramic-shell investment process to art metal casting. He was also instrumental in promoting and facilitating the first art metal conferences in the U.S. After receiving a permanent teaching position at Southern Illinois University, Walsh designed and supervised the construction of one of the best and most complete university art foundries in the country.  The foundry was a place for Walsh to create an ongoing body of sculpture in an atmosphere he created as a center for sculptors to come and work, share ideas, and develop techniques.  He now works out of the foundry at San Jose State University.
