About the event

Create YOUR lasting impression! Be a part of this unique opportunity to design an iron cast tile that will become a permanent part of the TIME WELL SPENT Clock Tower Sculpture - or give it as a one-of-a-kind gift for any special occasion! Purchase an Iron Cast Tile / Scratch Mold with an Instructional Workshop conducted by Western Carolina Sculpture Center Staff. Tiles are priced at $75 each. Participants will design their mold and the iron pour will occur during the WOOD.FIRE.SMOKE Festival this October. During the workshops, artists from the WNCSC will work with participants as they design their tiles based loosely on the iconic numbers found on the historic clock (be sure to view all the photos for examples).
