Sloss’ Summer Program Teaches Traditions of Metal Art

This summer, a dozen young people learned the techniques and traditions of metal art during Sloss' Summer Youth Apprenticeship.

A part of Birmingham's past is coming alive again. From the 1880's to the mid 1900's, Sloss Furnaces was an economic driver for the Magic City. It put Birmingham on the map as the place in the south for iron production. But those furnaces and boilers left over today don't tell the stories of the people who worked and lived there. That's about to change.
