COLES CASTINGS

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... As part of our practice, we host the Annual Dorset Iron Pour, first established in 2015. This is an opportunity for artists, craftspeople and other interested parties to participate in running a traditional cupola furnace. With iron founding now listed on the Heritage Crafts Association's Red List of Endangered Crafts, this is a rare opportunity to work with this unique material.
