Iron Pour Kick Off Party - Third Friday at the Foundry

Liberty Arts is celebrating its 10th year of the Iron Pour this November, and the party starts now! Join in at the Liberty Arts Foundry in Durham Central Park for their 10th Anniversary kick off party! Learn more about the Iron Pour by chatting with members of our Pour team and taking part in various educational workshops. They’ll also be hosting the first Iron Pour scratch block class of the season! Plus, learn about all the associated Iron Pour Programming they have planned leading up to November.

Iron Pour Scratch Block Workshop: Carve designs into blocks of resin-bonded sand. In November at the 10th Annual Liberty Arts Iron Pour, watch your creation become a work of art in the form of an iron tile! $60 per block during early bird sign up. Registration required. Sign up now!

Learn More about the Pour: Hang out inside the foundry and chat with our Pour Master Tripp Jarvis and Furnace Captain Kimberly Foytlin-Zhang about what happens on the Pour Floor. Watch exclusive videos from the pour teams and learn about what we have in store for this year!

Bott Making Activity: Learn to make “botts,” a crucial part of the pouring process, using sand, clay, sawdust, and water. Free to participate and open to all ages (with guardian supervision)!

Plaque Design Contest: Turn in your last minute submissions for the 10th Anniversary Plaque Design Contest! Use our template worksheet to design a plaque inspired by all things ART and FIRE. If your submission is selected, your work will be cast in iron during the 10th Annual Iron Pour, and the plaque will be installed on our Foundry in Durham Central Park!

Iron Pour Merch: Get ready for November by shopping our Iron Pour Merch selection! Pick up hats, t shirts, magnets, crewnecks and more!

Iron Works on Display: Check out work made by artists on our pour teams from previous Iron Pours!
