Sustainable Foundry
French Mountain Studios is collaborating with cast iron artists, engineers, and foundry experts in our field to develop a new, sustainable furnace and foundry operation to drastically reduce our dependance on and usage of legacy fossil fuels. Our team has been researching, designing, and building cutting edge tech for small volume furnace operation, and we have now successfully tested a prototype furnace that produces hot iron on a scale similar to that of coke fired furnaces.
