Making A Solid Cast Iron Printing Plate | SIUC Artists | Sculpture and Printmaking

Описание: Footage from the 2019 SIUC Alumni Weekend where the Sculpture department hosted an iron pour. During the iron pour we poured this mold of a printing plate. After the pour was over the SIUC Printmaking Department used it to make commemorative shirts. Thank you to the SIUC Staff, Faculty and students who made this event possible - and thank you so much for letting me participate. It was an absolute blast and I loved every second of it!

Special thanks to artists -
Bill Sieber - sculptor who milled the printing plate pattern
Kyle Irvin - printmaker shown printing on shirt in this video
Travis Janssen - Designed the printing plate - SIUC Assistant Professor, Printmaking
Alex Lopez - Associate Professor, Foundations/Sculpture and Associate Director
Carey Netherton - Lecturer, 3D Foundations/Sculpture


If you're new here welcome! My name is Laura Elizabeth and I am an iron casting metal artist. Being a cast iron artist is an interesting, and at times tough journey, but the rewards far exceed all challenges. While working with cast iron to create my art I am exposed to an amazing community of artists who are as dedicated and passionate as I am. The cast iron art culture is an major influence in my life and on my work and I want to share this artistic adventure with anyone who is interested in seeing hard working people make amazing art with a hot and dangerous medium. To do this I make vlog style videos on this channel that chronicle the artwork that I am currently making and my journeys in iron casting. In between casting and metal art videos you may also see some behind the scenes footage of me roaming around the heart of the Midwest and the Ozarks.
As always - I love you and thanks for watching!
