Foundry settings and iron-pour demonstrations
Gather at a former blast furnace with an arranged iron pour
Sloss Furnaces / Sloss Metal Arts
Sloss offers private gatherings in its industrial landmark setting, including casting-shed and spray-pond areas. Its event page expressly offers an iron pour as an arranged addition to a meeting. A separate group metal-arts option involves designing cast-iron tiles; request the precise format rather than assuming every activity is included.
Current location note / listed area: Birmingham, Alabama
Confirm the selected industrial space, staff-led pour observation, any guest pattern-design activity, group and age limits, heat/smoke exposure, accessibility, weather and date. No guest molten-metal handling, public spectacle or automatic wedding-and-pour bundle is implied. Tours, making, venue hire and finished-piece collection require their own agreed inclusions.
