Throughout the workshop, artists worked in the foundry to create moulds using resin-bonded sand, ceramic shell or clay/dung slurry. The Pour Day was an extraordinary event, to which the public were invited - the furnace was operated by the artist-pour crew, and the iron poured into the artists' moulds. Artists enjoyed a research trip to Pitt Rivers Museum, tuition from experienced artist iron-casters, and the opportunity to work closely as a team in the foundry and studios. Some of the sculpture, along with the moulds, will be displayed in the Museum from November until the end of January 2012.
