NORTH DORSET'S
FINE ART FOUNDRY
Coles Castings is a foundry in North Dorset specialising in bespoke cast iron, bronze and aluminium for art, design and heritage projects. We offer an extensive range of foundry processes including lost wax in ceramic shell, traditional sand moulding, silicon rubber mould making, metal finishing, and patination.
With our fine art background and decades of foundry experience, we are uniquely positioned to understand how the motivations of a creative process can work alongside the technical considerations necessary to produce works to a high specification. Whether you are an experienced sculptor or new to the casting process, we will walk you through every step of the way to ensure you take away a product worth celebrating.
We also offer 1:1 and group workshops suitable for all skill levels including sand moulding and lost wax investment casting using ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We also teach more experimental or bespoke sessions such as furnace building, dung moulding, rubber mould making, and other techniques related to sculpture. These sessions take place at our North Dorset studio, or as a self-contained mobile foundry, bringing the spectacle of metal casting to your arts organisation or event.
