A Liberty Arts Fundraiser
REGISTER HERE
In case you’ve never been to our Iron Pour, imagine a gritty ballet of dancers dressed in leathers, boots and helmets. They all have a role. They are all driven by the furnace and the Pour Master who is orchestrating this fiery show where sculptures and scratch blocks are poured. Once poured, the molten iron darkens and hardens into the beautiful tiles and pieces created by you and local artists.
Liberty Arts Studios & Foundry, Durham Central Park and The Forest at Duke present the 6th Annual public Iron Pour at Durham Central Park Saturday, November 5 from 4-9 p.m. All evening and into the night, 4,000 pounds of molten iron will be poured into molds, in an exciting fiery display creating the iron tiles made by the public and sculptures made by NC artists. Additionally, there will be Liberty Arts artists’ work for sale, Liberty Arts T-shirts, beer glasses and hand-blown glass pumpkins. Come enjoy drumming performances from Batalá Durham, Fire Breathers, kid-friendly events, local food trucks and craft beer while watching this very creative and gritty Durham event.
As always, the Iron Pour is a FREE event. This year, we are asking everyone to register to helps us get an idea of attendance numbers. Thanks for letting us know you are joining.
