Iron Pour Tiles
Create a 10”x10” iron tile for the garden, as a house marker, memorial or unique indoor art! Learn to carve a sandblock mold that will be cast with molten iron at the Iron Pour on August 23. The sandblocks are easy to carve and make a great project to work on with a friend or family member. Many of the most “successful” tiles from past pours were the simplest designs. The
tuition is for one tile, but students may purchase more than one sandblock mold to create a series or “mosaic” of tiles. Limited number available.
