Project Overview
Pedal to the Metal is a Twin Cities-based initiative designed to bring art awareness to Minnesota libraries. It is a traveling foundry that allows visitors to design their own unique metal sculpture, and to watch it as it is created onsite in a portable crucible. Because of its specially designed setup and professional staffing, the foundry is a kid-friendly operation so all ages can participate.
