SCHEDULE OF EVENTS


This is an informal event. We are not running workshops as such.
If you have a pattern and want to make a mold you can.
If you need advice or help, there is surely someone here who can,
and will help you.
You should seek out the help you need.
You should introduce yourself to someone and say
“Can you give me a hand?”.
Better yet you should introduce yourself to someone and say
“Can I give you a hand?”
There are no formal presentations or classes.
This is an opportunity for you to meet folks and make stuff.
We are all here to help each other realize our respective creative visions.
This is what we will be doing at Six Mile Sculptureworks.

That being said we have set a few things up for you.
We will have tours of the steel foundry
at ASF-Keysone Amsted rail.
We will have a free screening of “Sloss Industry to Art”
and a Q & A session with the director of the film at Granite City Cinema.
We will have an exhibition opportunity in downtown Granite City.
There will be resources for you to show images of your work to
everyone at the banquet hall.
We are sure something else will pop up between now and then to make things even
better.
So be prepared, be flexible, have a good time, and get some work
done!
