Description

The Art Foundry Gallery is one part sophisticated art gallery and one part hot and dusty medieval foundry. With a growing reputation for showcasing some of the most innovative painters and sculptors in the region in its spacious, upscale warehouse gallery space, the Art Foundry gives the appearance of being just another chic art gallery. You might never guess that in the room next door the noisy, rough, almost primal process of casting bronze in a foundry is taking place. Owner Alan Osbourne's crew of artisans have been casting fine bronzes for sculptors around the world since 1979, and the opportunity to see them at work should not be missed. Bronze casting classes are offered, and are the best way to introduce yourself to this fascinating ancient art.
