Come and try your hand at being a casting apprentice at this family-friendly workshop. The Long Gallery at Black Swan Arts will be transformed into a casting studio, bringing history alive and offering the opportunity to learn the basics of the casting techniques used to such great effect at the J.W. Singer & Sons foundry in Frome more than 100 years ago. Note – no hot metal involved!

Sessions last approximately 1 hour and can accommodate 12 max. Suitable for reception age children – 99 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No more than 2 children per adult.

All Saturday and Sunday bookings should be made online. Weekday sessions are available but are reserved for school groups. Schools should contact projects@rooklanearts.org.uk to book.

The Casting Studio has been made possible with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Frome Town Council and The Alan Powell Trust.
