One of the greatest resources available for sculptors and art collectors is located five miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the village of Tesuque (te-soo-ke).  Shidoni, a bronze art foundry, sculpture garden and gallery, is situated along the Rio Tesuque on a former apple orchard. Visitors have the opportunity to watch 2000 degree molten bronze being poured into ceramic shell molds, stroll around the sculpture garden and visit the gallery which represents 100 different sculptors from all over the country.  “Shidoni” is a Navajo word used as a greeting to a friend.  If you are an artist in need of the finest foundry services available, a collector in search of quality art, or you want to learn about the process involved in the creation of major works of art, please come for a visit.
