I think you’ll find that the UK founders have the skill, just not the
furnace capacity.

what is the foundry going to do after the bells are done.?

 

Read the web-link that David provided. Dartington is a well-known centre for
arts, crafts and design. The idea is that the foundry would continue to be
used for casting works of art. They're not looking for a traditional foundry
- but a state of the art one. Our bellfounders wouldn't be well placed to
cast an instrument on this scale anyway - but others in Europe and beyond
have produced huge bells in recent years and do have the skills and
technology

 

The project visionaries aren't looking to be constrained by tradition or
limits of current facilities here!
