Annual Herman Iron Pour Comments from members of the community Click on any small photo on the site to see a larger version. The Iron Pour itself is a stunning visual event.
Molten iron is an intense neon orange.
The artists doing the pouring wear full leather gear and welding helmets. The twelve of us who participated in the workshop pressed pieces of ourselves into each other. I think our attitudes and expectations of people we thought we knew shifted, and I know the power of community came through in what we were doing because people who didn't participate get this kind of wistful longing tone in their voices when they talk about trying it next year. It has hard for them to see that they do this for a living. Last year, David and I were standing behind an artist who had purple hair or something.
