How AFA Foundry Transforms Ideas into Impactful Works of Art

I grew up in a place where creativity and craftsmanship were part of everyday life—where people took pride in designing, building, and shaping their surroundings. Today, as the owner of AFA Foundry, I’m honored to channel that same spirit for architects, engineers, sculptors, and designers looking to transform ambitious ideas into breathtaking realities.

“For me, it all comes down to collaboration. By combining our legacy in the craft with Fortune 500-level processes and project management, we deliver results that stand the test of time, both artistically and structurally.”
~ Brett Barney CEO

AFA goes beyond melting metal and pouring molds

Brett Barney Chief Collaborator of American Fine Arts

At AFA, our job is more than melting metal and pouring molds. It’s about collaboration—bringing your creative vision together with our decades of experience in traditional foundry techniques and modern manufacturing processes. We work closely with you from initial sketches and digital renderings all the way through mold making, casting, finishing, and patina. Every step is tailored to meet your exact specifications, and we’re relentless about quality, craftsmanship, and precision.

We’re proud to serve as a one-stop shop for creative innovators.

Whether you need help engineering the internal structure of a monumental bronze sculpture, want expert guidance in finishing and patination, or simply seek a partner who understands the challenges of large-scale installation, we’ve got you covered. Our facilities are designed to handle complex work, yet we maintain a personalized, hands-on approach—because we know how important it is to honor the integrity of your art, your vision, and your brand.
