Description

This course explores the aesthetic potential of cast iron as a sculptural material to further develop the understanding between the foundry process, pattern generation, personal expression, and its potential for performative concepts. Students learn about the construction and operation of the cupola furnace and related equipment for melting and pouring iron. This course is not designed for mass production of cast objects, rather the focus is on the production of individual artworks to the ability of the maker, the capacity of the equipment, and time.
