SCC Sculpture

The annual Iron pour is this Saturday, November 8th.

Would love to see y'all. Scratch blocks will be for sale and available for carving at 3pm. $10.00 a piece. Proceeds ( and its not much these days) go back helping us keep doing this, and help offset the expense of mold costs to students.

Like always, the pour will start when the furnace says its ready, but we are aiming for between 4:30 and 5.
