ENJOY UNIQUE ARTS, FOOD & MORE

GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, in partnership with Albright University, will present the 5 th Annual Spring Iron Pour & Forge Fest on Saturday, April 29 (rain date May 6). The day will kick-off with Forge Fest, where a gathering of the local blacksmith’s association, Pennsylvania Artists Blacksmith Association (PABA), will be doing live blacksmithing demonstrations. These artisans will share their process for super heating and hammering steel into delicate ornate patterns. Experience the brute force and delicate touch necessary to make this amazing work. The day will also offer up live music, food trucks, performances, kids’ activities, s'mores and mold-making workshops. The event will culminate at sunset with the Iron Pour, where 2,000 pounds of iron is heated to 3,000 degrees and the molten metal is tapped for pouring. For more info visit goggleworks.org. –
