   The Iron Pour at GFS
  GFS began with the Johnson Atelier and its foundry pouring molten metals to create sculpture. Led by artists from the AbOminOg International Arts Collective of Trenton, we’re keeping the tradition alive using red-hot iron. You’re not just invited to watch, you’re invited to make your own art. Let the fireworks begin! Vulcan’s furnace roars, crackles, flames, and sparks with power and excitement! Join us for an iron pour demonstration conducted by a team of master foundry sculptors as they heat 500 pounds of iron until it’s white hot, then pour it into molds made in the Scratch Mold Workshop. 

  Rain Date: Sunday, November 3
