Alex Bealer Blacksmith Association

Students and faculty Georgia State University's Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design will heat things up at their annual Holiday Iron Pour at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Edgewood Sculpture Studio (184 Edgewood Ave.). In its third decade, the spectacle of light and fire draws hundreds of spectators and artists each year. Attendees enjoy food and fun while learning about the metal-casting process by watching as artists and students pour thousands of pounds of iron into the studio's furnace, heat it to temperatures approaching 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and cast it into molds. A $5 donation is requested at the door. For more information, contact George Beasley, professor of sculpture, at 404-651-4227 or gbeasley@gsu.edu.

The December 16, 2006 meeting is at the home of John and Judy Zeigler. The Brasstown Blacksmith group will be joining us for a potluck lunch. Bring the whole family and a dish to pass. Meat, beverages, and paper goods will be
furnished. Gather and mingle 9:30-10:00, eat lunch around noon.

We have 2 guest rooms if someone wants to stay over or can they camp in the yard. Call us if you would like to spend the night.
