Crafts CouncilDirectoryColes Castings FoundryFoundry ProcessAboutAs part of our practice, we have a special interest in the environmental impact of metal casting and foundry work. In 2012 we established an artist-run foundry in the southwest of England specialising in cast iron, bronze and aluminium for fine art and heritage projects. To find ways of minimising these ecological impacts, we have developed a group of prototype furnaces, kilns and burners that run on waste vegetable oil.Coles Castings FoundryDorset, EnglandCeramic shell, Paul Blakemore @blikmoPouring bronze, Paul Blakemore @blikmoLifting the crucible, Paul Blakemore @blikmoHot bronze, Paul Blakemore @blikmoBurying ceramic shells, Paul Blakemore @blikmowaste oil furnace, Paul Blakemore @blikmoFoundry ProcessAboutAs part of our practice, we have a special interest in the environmental impact of metal casting and foundry work.
