This annual conference is an excellent opportunity for students, organizations, and professors to meet, collaborate, share ideas, and establish a lasting dialogue and friendship.

Because large scale iron pours require the focus, skill, and energy of many people working together in order to be successful, students have to work together in teams throughout the pour. This collaborative approach to art-making helps young students progress exponentially faster than if they were working individually and allows for students across the northeast to connect and share their ideas and skills. This is also an unusual opportunity for schools without casting facilities to provide their students with the means to make cast-iron sculpture.
