Join us as ºÚÁÏרÇø celebrates the 40th Iron Pour—a beloved tradition and true craft-community reunion. Hosted by Academic Facilities and our partners, this annual event brings together alumni, students, and friends from across institutions to collaborate, reconnect, and witness one of ºÚÁÏרÇø’s most iconic hands-on experiences.

We’re excited to already have commitments from colleagues at Cranbrook, Michigan State, the University of Michigan, Grand Valley, ºÚÁÏרÇø Studio Arts & Crafts, Continuing Education Foundry students, and many alumni who return year after year for this special gathering.
