About the event
Stay late after camp and learn how to create your own iron art mold! With guidance, you'll take your 2D designs and turn them into a 3D mold to create your iron art. This process is simple using tools like metal spoons, screwdrivers, and more to carve out your design from the sand & resin block. We'll show you all the tips and tricks to scratching your mold to bring to life your unique iron art. At the end of the class, you'll leave your mold with us until it's filled with molten hot iron during our annual Arts on Fire Iron Pour on September 14!
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. Come watch as molten iron becomes your artwork and enjoy the rest of the festivities of the day!
Thank you to our sponsors, including the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County. Thanks to them, we can provide scratchblock molds at a discounted rate, making iron art even more accessible to our community.
