“Some of the days in November carry the whole memory of summer as a fire opal carries the color of moonrise.”
hello November
Are you ready to stoke the fire! We are excited about the new and improved IRON HEROES program, which is just warming up! And we are fired up for this year’s Iron Pour, the line up is lit.
IRON HEROES: REKINDLED
The Fall 2025 Cohort has begun
Over the past few weeks, a group of veterans and emerging artists have convened with artist and pour master Tripp Jarvis, embarking on their metal casting journey.
Thus far, the students have gathered for narrative reflection, thought-provoking drawing activities, and preliminary clay sculpting as they design their final pieces.
In the most recent session, Tripp guided the cohort through the mold-making process, which will prepare their work for casting during the 9th Annual Liberty Arts Iron Pour.
