The Art Foundry introduces a working iron foundry into Margate that will be accessible to local artists looking to cast iron sculptures, whilst also offering youths from the Pie Music Factory a new creative experience and an opportunity to learn new skills.

​

The design, informed by the iron casting process, is organised around two opposing moments: the glowing heat of the furnace versus the cool calm of the vertical concrete wall, which divides the workshops from the front of the building.
