***IRON POUR NEWS*** If you are one of those around Portland interested in the rumors about a series of pattern-making workshops and a community iron pour this next fall there is good news! Thanks to generous support by the Oregon Arts Commission we have been awarded funding to build our cupola to melt the iron! While the cupola fabrication is only one facet of this effort it is an important one and gets the ball rolling with a good start. There is still a lot of fundraising and volunteer help that will be needed along the way to make this thing happen. I will include these iron pour updates here in my blog until a space can be developed exclusively for iron pour news.
