Pangolin

Rwenzori Founders Art Centre, comprising an award-winning Sculpture Gallery, Bronze Foundry and Coffee Bar, lies eleven kilometres north of Kasese in the foothills of Uganda’s impressive Rwenzori Mountains.

Supported by UK charity the Ruwenzori Foundation, this rural centre for the arts was launched in 2008 when three Ugandan craftsmen who trained at Pangolin Editions foundry in England returned home. It has since grown rapidly and the local team now has twenty members.

Unprecedented in Uganda, the foundry offers sculptors the opportunity to have their work cast into bronze in well-equipped studios and with skilled craftsmen on hand at every stage of the process.

The architect-designed Rwenzori Sculpture Gallery has become a popular tourist destination and exhibits a selection of bronzes produced by the foundry as well as other works created during workshops and residencies hosted on site.

All sculptures are for sale and enquiries are welcomed.
