Connect & Carve: Mindful Molds for Iron Art

Meld fire with mindfulness with this unique experience in making a custom iron art mold! Learn the easiest way to create your own iron art mold while experiencing the meditative and connective power of this art form. With guidance from your instructor and support from your fellow classmates, you'll turn a 2D design into a 3D mold to create your iron art. This process is simple, easy to learn, and meditative. You'll use tools like metal spoons, screwdrivers, and more to scratch your design out of the sand & resin mold. This class will encourage both creative and relational mindfulness practices. You'll have the chance to explore these practices at your own pace with the help of your instructor. At the end of the class, you'll leave your mold with us until our iron pour during Arts on Fire and take with you a calmer mind.

Your completed mold will be filled with cast iron on Sunday, September 14 during our annual Arts on Fire event, by a crew of iron artists from all over NC. Join us that day to watch your mold get filled and discover the world of fire art through demonstrations, classes, vendors, and more!

Arts on Fire is a sponsored project of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County and funded through Arts for EveryBody Community Project Grant.
