Monday through Thursday, 8a.m.-6p.m. Foundry Portland State University is home to the only fine-art foundry in Portland. Housed within the Department of Art the foundry is equipped with a burnout kiln for lost-wax investment casting, a melting furnace, and other supporting equipment. The 926 square-foot woodshop is designed to meet the general needs of art students. Before using the facility students are expected to take a basic woodshop safety class.
Emphasis is placed on basic equipment use.
An extensive library of images serves our program in Art History, as well as other disciplines within the department and across the University.
