Meridian Sculpture Foundry

Once again Meridian Sculpture Foundry are sponsoring the Annual and Awards Exhibition with a donation of a Full Enrolment Workshop voucher which includes the casting of the piece made in the workshop.  Meridian are keen to see people getting back into classes and to see the art industry recovering. Workshops will be run each month from September onwards. ASV members get $100 discount on Full Enrolments

Meridian Foundry now has a custom built centrifuge. This was built for a specific project to enable them to cast  sections that are larger than standard with intricate detail. It is believed to be the only foundry with this capability: "Meridian has custom built and engineered a large centrifuge casting machine for complex works up to 280mm x 180mm x 180mm with extremely fine and intricate section widths, down to 0.5mm. 3D Printed parts and most combustible materials can be cast in this fashion also”

This is all very exciting. More can be seen on a blog post on the meridian website   Centrifuge Cast Bonsai — Meridian Sculpture
