Kelly Ludeking is a Decorah native, metal artist and sculptor who has lived and worked in Minneapolis, Madison and Chicago. We are thrilled to welcome him home and offer you an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind artwork that Kelly will cast for you. Learn the metal casting process and create an 8x8 inch iron tile to display in your garden or home. The following week, bring your friends and family to watch Kelly and his mates cast your work at the public iron pour on his family farm (Saturday evening, June 12). On Sunday afternoon, pick up your finished artwork – a treasure that will last for generations.
