Small Bronze Sculpture & Functional Art Workshop
Kelly Ludeking and Instructors from IHSS
Instructors from Iron Head Sculptural Services (IHSS) will take the students completely through the creative process beginning with pattern development and moving onto mold making, art casting, and finish suggestions on the final product. Project possibilities include, but are not limited to, belt buckles and medallions. Due to the high materials cost, projects need to be limited
in size, under 5 pounds, but not in creativity!

Iron Pour 3-D Small Sculptures
The first class will be an introduction to pattern making where the process will be explained and explored with the possibility of creating reaction molds (“thunderbox”). The second class will be used to create your mold and more detailed work can be completed during the tile classes if desired.

Iron Pour Tiles
Create a 10”x10” iron tile for the garden, as a house marker, memorial or unique indoor art! Learn to carve a sandblock mold that will be cast with molten iron at the Iron Pour on August 23. The sandblocks are easy to carve and make a great project to work on with a friend or family member. Many of the most “successful” tiles from past pours were the simplest designs. The
tuition is for one tile, but students may purchase more than one sandblock mold to create a series or “mosaic” of tiles. Limited number available.
