If you’ve never witnessed an iron pour, you don’t know what you are missing. Iron pours are magical and captivating. They are intense and mesmerizing. It’s not often that one gets to witness an act of artistic creation such as this, because the tools needed to pull off the pour are beyond most artists’ industrial scope.
Pouring liquid metal is not something that many of us would normally be able to witness, let alone participate in, if it were not for the skilled technicians that attend these pours.
Now that North Buffalo is home to Flying Anvil Metalworks (see more), there’s a great relationship between the pours, held on campus, and the community. On Friday April 17, at 7pm, metal masters Mollie Atkinson and Ken Payne invite you to attend the pour and the accompanying reception and exhibit.
Create your own cast iron relief sculpture (see prices below), and get to know the local metal works community. Come spend some time on campus (Upton Hall – starts at 9am), and visit a magnificent new metalworks work space in North Buffalo (reception 7pm). Participants and spectators are welcome.
Buffalo State art students will be displaying their works at Flying Anvil, which will then be auctioned off. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about this fascinating arm of metalworks in Buffalo.
