Count on the joyfully twisted minds at Franconia Sculpture Park to turn the pouring of molten metal into family fun. "Come and be part of art history," invites the park in advertisements for the annual event at which cast-metal artists (that is, artists who work in the medium of cast metal) lead workshops and help attendees make their own little sculptures. You'd better go and make a sculpture, otherwise what will your kids have to debate whether or not to throw away when you die?
