Metal casting, a visually exciting art event, will take place from 8-10 p.m. in Ford Park.
Metal casting was once thought to be a technically sophisticated process that could only be accomplished in a foundry. Since 1951 artists have been challenging this idea by fabricating their own furnaces, heating metal until molten and casting their own sculptures. The process includes heating metal in furnaces built by the artists out of recycled tumble dryers to 2,800 degrees and then ladling or pouring liquid metal into molds to create sculptures. Many of the sculptures that will be cast during the performance were created by workshop participants. Free!

Heavy Metal exhibition includes sculptures by artists Mark Guilbeau, Brad Allen, Tobias Flores, Shereen Lobdell, David Lobdell, Remy Hanemann, Rian Kerrane, and James Hayes.
