For those that need a prompt to make art, we’ve designed a way to make it easier. In this Cast Iron Art workshop you will receive one of our deluxe scratch blocks, with interesting shapes already cast into them. We’ll have all the tools and help you decide on your design. You will complete your mold by hand. Your completed mold will be filled with cast iron on Saturday, September 9 during our annual Night of Fire event.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to wear long pants and close toed shoes. We'll provide the rest of the safety gear you'll need. Email workshops@wsmixxer.org with questions.
Alan Shelton had a dream that someday everyone living near Winston-Salem would have a place to make stuff & learn stuff, and with the help of the community, led the efforts to open Mixxer Community Makerspace, to make that dream come true. Now he is working to support the inner artist and craftsperson in everyone in our community. Alan teaches metal casting, metal fabrication and welding, basic woodworking, and supports makers learning new skills at Mixxer.
