Thank you for coming out and making our 2019 Fall Open House a huge success! We were thrilled to host nearly 1,600 visitors to our studio over the weekend. Industrial arts enthusiasts of all ages took to hands-on activities like wet welding, stone carving, and shibori indigo dyeing. The temperatures were hot in departments like Foundry where visitors witnessed multiple molten hot bronze and aluminum pours throughout the day. And onlookers gathered by the dozens to see captivating fire performances from our faculty and the wildly entertaining youth performers from Prescott Circus.
We look forward to seeing many of your faces back for classes throughout the next couple months. Until then, you can relive the fun through some of these 2019 Fall Open House photos in our highlights gallery below.
