Gather around the fire for an evening of industrial-sized love filled with a kissing booth robot, hand-typed love poems, tarot readings, a live DJ, a special aerial appearance by Cupid and Crucible industrial arts demonstrations highlighting blacksmithing, neon, jewelry and enameling.

This Fireside Lounge is the first in a series of four evening events planned by The Crucible. Future evenings include a Rosie the Riveter theme showcasing women in industrial art and Play Bound theme for those looking to head off to Black Rock City in the summer.

Guests will enjoy live demonstrations of and mini lectures on blacksmithing, neon, jewelry and enameling throughout The Crucible studio, as well as a spectacular art exhibition showcasing student and faculty art in those featured areas. Aerialist Oliver Pavick will play the saucy flying Cupid. Local poet Zach Houston will flow with free verse hand-typed poems.
