Furnace Particiption/Competition
Shapely Trophies Make Victory Sweet
In each WCIAA Conference, professional and student-built iron cupolas compete head-to-head in grueling, friendly competition. Students scramble to melt hundreds of pounds of iron and to achieve breathtaking, searing temperatures. Spectacular trophies reward the victors, so that shrewd cupola design and agile, practiced cooperation are rewarded with public glory and adulation. You MUST contact us if you’re planning to bring a cupola to the conference. Contact Ashley Hope Carlisle and let her know what you have in mind.
Conference Large Production/ Performance Cupola Participation has already been determined.
