Fallbrook Iron Pour

I was happy to be able to attend the Historic Fallbrook Iron Pour after reading about it in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Many artists provided molds to be filled with molten iron during the pour. The furnace built to melt the iron was called a cupola. The event took place at the Artworks of Fallbrook, Fallbrook CA, November 5, 2005.
