The Foundry was closed these last few weeks because of a national lockdown due to the Corona virus which has been spreading all over the world. As of today, The Bahamas government announced that the country could reopen with some safe measures in place. We are now checking the foundry for safety and will be open starting on Monday. At the moment, we have no plan to reopen for any visitors to the foundry until further notice.
