Join visiting masters and CBMM shipwrights for a live iron pour demonstration. Guests will have the opportunity to see a cupola (a continual tap furnace in which iron is melted) in action. Once the iron is molten and the furnace tapped, demonstrators will pour the molten iron into molds made by students, staff, and the public. Click here to learn how you can make your own mold for inclusion in this iron pour.
