Paul Cavanagh Foundry Man
In 1966, after studying art foundry work in Rome, Italy, Paul Cavanagh, who attended both Providence College and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), began the Paul King Foundry.
PAUL CAVANAGH – a Foundry Man
Paul Cavanagh is truly a foundry man. Forty-eight years worth of hands-on experience have forged him into an international expert in foundry casting. He has successfully worked with foundries in Thailand and China and has made it a point to employ current technologies like rapid prototyping.
Paul Cavanagh is also a highly regarded expert on the history of bronze casting and bronze techniques used throughout the ages. The massive Buddha sculptures created in Asia successfully used ancient bronze techniques.
The Rhode Island foundry that Cavanagh created back in 1966 has, 48 years later, become an award-winning company. Why? Because whether it’s a small or a large piece, there’s always attention to detail.
