Commissioned a custom aluminum casting from these folks, and I couldn't be happier. Their staff artists/craftspeople we're friendly and very knowledgeable, and the job was done to a high degree of quality at a reasonable price.

An old friend is a prominent member and instructor, Dale Savit. This past fall we drove east for fall colors, clam chowder,and a couple of Dale's pieces. This is a great place to visit if you can, and hey, it's across a parking lot from Sam Adams brewery too!
