2021 NCCCIAP: Furnace Side Chats - National Ornamental Metal Museum



A Furnace Side Chat featuring James Vanderpool and his furnace, Priscilla, at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, TN.


This feature of the conference is brought to you by the Guest Furnaces Steering Committee Members Waylon Bigsby and Al Johnson. Normally furnace makers would travel far and wide to get fired up and melt some hot iron in the shadows of the historical Sloss Furnaces. We would swap stories while gathered around our lit cupolas to show off the customizations and quirks that make our furnaces unique and remembered. To best replicate those scenarios in a virtual conference, the following artists have submitted prerecorded interviews in which they walk us through the design of their furnace and share their story.
