    EST. 1980The Walla Walla Foundry was established in 1980 by Mark and Patty Anderson with the sole purpose of facilitating the creation of contemporary art through bronze casting and fabrication. For over 40 years the Foundry has operated with a steadfast commitment to working with artists to realize their sculptural projects in a wide variety of materials and at nearly any scale. Our facility provides artists with access to cutting edge technologies, which serve to expedite the creative process and enable projects to move fluidly from concept to model to completed artwork. Our one-hundred talented technicians and artisans understand that artists can often change direction and pivot as the creative process evolves. It has been the hallmark of our company to be nimble and meet these challenges head on. It is this push to achieve exacting results for our clients that has earned the Walla Walla Foundry its reputation as the premiere fine art casting and fabrication facility in the United States.

    Founders Mark and Patty Anderson (my parents) focused their vision for Foundry Vineyards around a unique experience that highlights the creative processes of making both art and wine. There is a distinct aesthetic to each aspect of the winery, from the art-driven labels and the gallery-like tasting room to the modern feel of the contemporary sculpture garden and design store.Currently, I manage Foundry Vineyards in Walla Walla and Seattle. I also curate quarterly art shows in our gallery and work to bring together Wine + Art + Community.
