We are back with our second public iron pour event on Saturday June 8th at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology, after enthralling folks last year with the choreography of fire, flames and heat, turning solid metal to liquid orange hot liquid and filling moulds. Once again, there will be the opportunity to take home iron disks and tiles of their own design, made from open-faced "scratch blocks".
Schedule:
Scratch blocks will be available for sale for those who would like to make their own iron art work, and to work on from 11:00 am until 1:30 pm, to be cast later in the day.
Furnace will be operating, with molten metal being tapped and poured into moulds from 2:00 pm until about 4:30 pm.
We are pleased to report that the event this year is supported by a grant by the Ontario Arts Council.
