More About Sloss Metal Arts
Sloss Metal Arts began their metal arts program back in 1985 with various workshops, exhibits, and conferences. From forging to fabricating, the organization focuses on using cast iron as an art form while giving professional artists a place to facilitate their cast iron work. Along with providing a home for artists in the area, the group also aims to introduce casting, welding and forging to those with no metal work experience in order to spread this art form.
Other Workshops Offered by Sloss Metal Arts
Along with the Cast Iron Bowl-O-Rama event, Sloss Metal Arts offers many other workshops including a casting workshop, welding workshop and blacksmithing workshop. While the casting workshop is geared towards those with no experience but an interest in casting design, the welding workshop aims to introduce attendees to the basic process of steel fabrication. The blacksmithing workshop teaches members how to work with fire, a hammer and an anvil while exploring the processes of blacksmithing.
