Black, Red & Gold: Metals in Africa

http://www.molli.org.uk/african_metalwork/

Africa is rich in natural resources from the earth. Many of these come in the form of naturally occurring metals, such as gold, or minerals from which metals can be extracted, such as iron and copper.

This exhibition is celebration of the skills and resourcefulness of African blacksmiths and bronze-casters and looks at how metals, such as copper and iron, are smelted, moulded, forged and recycled.
