The
Crucible Foundry
Origination requires the eye of the sculptor combined with the practical skill of the craftsman. Most of us here at the Crucible are trained fine artists, well qualified to assist clients in realising their designs and their art. We empower you to take ideas from thumbnail sketch to tangible reality. With our knowledge of material, form and proportion, combined with an ability to adapt ideas and styles: from fountains to furniture, statues to staircases, we can help you realise beautiful functional items, as well as pure fine art pieces.
