SCULPTURE FOUNDRY SERVICES AND ARTISTS
Welcome to Max-Cast

Sculpture Foundry Services and Artists

Founded in 1983 by Steve Maxon and joined five years later by Doris Park, Max­-Cast is a full-service sculpture foundry operating in Kalona, Iowa.

We produce original sculpture in bronze, iron and aluminum as well as offering a full range of foundry services for artists, contractors and the general public. Our people are highly skilled in all aspects of the metal casting process. Many are artist in their own right, creating their own sculpture at the foundry or working in other mediums.

Commission Work

We are award-winning sculptors who have been commissioned for a variety of work, ranging in scale from small plaques to monumental statues.

Custom Casting Work

We create sculptures, prototypes and replica parts, hardware and architectural ornaments, and other restoration work.

Restoration

We restore historic statues, cast items for architectural renovations, offer moldmaking, casting, welding, sandblasting, finishing, and re-patina.

Tim, I like the “Go” button better if it is possible to change the colors. If not, is it possible to change the CSS so the icon goes to the right of the words, instead of the left? Also, can the point size on the font be increased? Thanks.
