This art center is also a foundry. They specialize in making amazing (small and big) sculptures in bronze and have some on display. The location is very peaceful and clean. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. Spent two hours visiting and talking with them. Worth a visit.

With a bit more time you can tour the foundry ($10 pp). Very clean toilets too!…
