Cast Iron Clinic

The Heritage Alliance is excited to partner with Create Appalachia and Vintage Kitchen Cast Iron and Collectibles to bring a Cast Iron Clinic to Create Appalachia’s Johnson City office. Katie Hoffman and Brett Tiller of Vintage Kitchen Cast Iron buy, sell, trade, and restore cast iron professionally. Katie and Brett will lead a discussion about selecting the right pans for your kitchen and show you how to clean and maintain your collection—old or new. They’ll bring their portable cast iron “museum” and share a bit about cast iron history.

Do you have a family heirloom or flea market find that needs a little cleanup? Bring it along and they may be able to tell you something about its age and origins, as well as whether it needs restoration. 

Bring your questions—and any pieces of cast iron that you might have questions about—to the workshop from 6:00-8:00 pm on Thursday, September 21^st at Create Appalachia’s office in Johnson City. If you’re thinking about purchasing a piece, we’ll have a few items for sale. Don’t miss this chance to find out what you want to know! Everyone welcome, from beginners to collectors. Tickets for this workshop are $10.00 and are available at jonesborough.com/tickets or by calling the Jonesborough Visitors Center at 423-753-9580.
