The activity of the workers in a small artisanal foundry of aluminium (Madagascar). From the heart of Madagascar's highlands comes a craft both timeless and essential. In this part of the country, small artisanal foundries turn recycled aluminum from cans, scrap metal and bolts into pots, pans and decorative pieces like lemurs, zebus and baobabs. Artisans melt aluminum in brick furnaces heated by charcoal, pour it into hand-carved sand molds and polish each piece to a brilliant shine. This tradition began over a century ago when aluminum has been introduced to the town after World War I. This legacy continues today in family-run workshops.
