Bronze Foundry

The Foundry is a state of the art facility with an overhead crane, two furnaces, and a burn-out kiln for evacuation of the wax. The kiln space accommodates all the works for a class of 20 students in one firing and offers solid mold investing as well as ceramic shell. It is the last operating foundry in the U.C. system and offers undergraduate students a unique sculptural experience.

The foundry class is an upper division sculpture studio class. Students who wish to enroll must first complete the prerequisite of passing a lower division sculpture studio class first.

Green Lab Certified: Our foundry is green lab certified at the platinum level through the sustainability office certification program, through June 2026.
