SUMMARY:Forged Connections: Mockups\, Maquettes\, and Fabrication with James Vanderpool
DESCRIPTION:Forged Connections is the Metal Museum’s after-hours conversation series exploring how metal connects art\, people\, place\, and everyday life. Each month\, artists\, metalsmiths\, scholars\, community partners\, and professionals from fields such as engineering\, design\, public art\, preservation\, and city planning come together for accessible conversations about the role metal plays in our communities. From jewelry and sculpture to bridges\, buildings\, tools\, and public spaces\, Forged Connections invites lifelong learners to look more closely at the material world around them.Artist Talk with Metal Museum Foundry Directror | James Vanderpool \n\n\n\nBefore a finished sculpture or metal object takes shape\, there is a lot of work that most people never see: sketches\, models\, measurements\, tests\, changes\, and problem-solving. Join James Vanderpool\, Assistant Director of the Metal Museum’s Foundry\, for a behind-the-scenes look at mockups\, maquettes\, and fabrication. Vanderpool will talk about how artists and fabricators move from an idea to a finished piece\, why scale models are useful\, and how material choices affect the final work. Guests will leave with a better understanding of the planning\, collaboration\, and technical skill that go into making metal objects.
