Durham, NC – This year, Durham Mayor Leonardo Williams will kick off an exciting evening of live artmaking, art demos, fire spinning and batala drumming, Poetry Fox, art market vendors and more. Local food trucks and craft beer vendors will provide refreshments throughout the park.
Local artisans contribute a great deal to the overall Iron Pour experience! The 8th Annual Iron Pour includes amazing artists from Liberty Arts and artisans from the surrounding area. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Over the next few weeks leading up to the 8th Annual Iron Pour, we are introducing the artists involved with this year’s pour. The first part of this mini-series highlights two master pourers that have participated since the very beginning!
Durham NC - Liberty Arts presents the eighth annual free Iron Pour, a public artmaking event, on Saturday, November 16, in Durham Central Park. A portion of proceeds will go to support Western North Carolina arts organizations through the North Carolina Arts Foundation.
On April 22, 2017 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm we invite you to come out and see our new digs and how we have settled in. We will have demos going throughout the evening showing the various mediums our artists work and teach classes in; including welding, plasma cutting, glassblowing, letterpress, and more.
This will be a fun event for everyone with live entertainment, local food, and drinks.
This past Last Thursday@Liberty Arts featured three demonstrations of our artists at work. John Parkinson shared his weaving (Danish cord) technique on a beautiful new custom walnut bench. David Huber fired up his lathe to show his turning and sanding skills on the briar burls he turns into amazing artisan tobacco pipes. Out back Evie and Josh were pulling 1700 degree pots out of their recently finished raku kiln and completing the ancient process to produce beautiful pieces to the oohs and ahhs of the crowd. You can expect more of the same this coming Last Thursday@Liberty Arts on August 27th.
