Annual Segal Iron Pour
Segal Design Institute
7:30 PM
//
Evanston Township High School
Details
The Segal Iron Pour is an annual event that introduces students to a centuries-old manufacturing process. During the Iron Pour, students pour molten iron from a 2,700-degree furnace into 3D-printed and sand-casted molds.
The event is held as a culmination of DSGN 395-64: Leonardo, Geometry, and the Art of Manufacturing, a course taught by Segal faculty members Matthew Cummins and David Gatchell.
Join us for the 6th annual Segal Iron Pour, a one-of-a-kind experience that aims to stimulate curiosity in sand casting, forging, and other types of manufacturing. The Iron Pour features Segal students, faculty, and staff who will demonstrate the forging process by pouring hundreds of pounds of molten iron into creatively designed molds. The Segal Iron Pour is open to the McCormick community, including students, faculty, and staff.

Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh
Details
The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts is a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and materials science-related departments at Northwestern University to pursue objects-based and objects-inspired scientific research. Materials research benefits ongoing work in conservation, archaeology, art history, and curatorial scholarship.
Learn how the Center uses materials research to care for art objects in sustainable, innovative ways with Maria Kokkori, Northwestern Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Senior Scientist in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts. She will be in conversation with Corey Byrnes, Northwestern Associate Professor of Chinese Culture and co-founder/co-director of the Environmental Humanities Workshop in Kaplan Humanities Center.
This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with exhibition Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
