SUMMARY:Kingsport Iron Pour
DESCRIPTION:The Kingsport Office of Cultural Arts and Engage Kingsport are bringing back one of the most popular artistic events of last year. \nThe Iron Pour event will be held at the Inventor Center (118 Shelby Street) on May 7 beginning at noon. The pouring will take place at approximately 1 p.m. \nSculpture artist Tripp Jarvis and a team of master sculptors will conduct an iron pour demonstration\, heating up 500 pounds of iron to 3\,000 degrees. Then\, when the iron is white hot\, Jarvis and his team will pour it into molds made during one of the eight scratch mold workshops. \nIt’s free to watch the iron pour\, but if you would like to participate and make your own iron artwork\, then you need to attend one of the eight scratch mold workshops. Here\, you’ll scratch unique designs into an 8-inch sand mold which will be cast with molten iron during the event. \nThe cost is only $15 and the workshops are held on the following days at the Inventor Center: \nThursday\, April 14\, 10 a.m. – noon \nThursday\, April 21\, 10 a.m. – noon \nFriday\, April 29\, 10 a.m. – noon \nFriday\, April 29\, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nSaturday\, April 30\, 10 a.m. – noon \nFriday\, May 6\, 10 a.m. – noon \nFriday\, May 6\, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nSaturday\, May 7\, 10 a.m. – noon (This is the morning of the Iron Pour event.

Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council\, a Healthier Tennessee community\, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S.\, there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride\, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.” \n###
