We at the fire arts center of chicago refuse to use the word “fall,” yet; however the Ravenswood Bank is not afraid to admit that the seasons are changing. Fall Festival or not, the Ravenswood Bank is one of our favorite places to visit this time of year. Their festival helps support the Chicago Animal Shelter Alliance which is a great cause. Plus, how many banks do you know that allow 2000 degrees of molten metal to be poured in their parking lot?
Stop by on Sunday and see our demos in metal forging, bronze casting and stone carving. Our schedule is as follows:
noon-1:00pm - Light Metals and Forging Demo with Kristian
1:00pm-2:00pm - Foundry Demo with Mike and Vince
2:00pm-3:00pm - Stone Carving Demo with Bouba
While we are only there on Sunday, the festival runs Friday through Sunday. Be sure to stop by and check out the pet adoption party on Saturday, but don’t you dare leave empty-handed.
We look forward to seeing you there.
