Details

The first Open Pour of Spring '26
No experience required! Walk away with something totally metal, for free!

We'll be utilizing the Lost Foam method:
We bury an EPS foam object (coffee cup material) in sand with a sprue sticking out. Then we pour the molten metal on top, which vaporizes the foam on contact, leaving the metal to take the shape of the cavity left behind!
We'll have plenty of foam props to choose from. Including Valentines Day themed props!

Safety glasses and closed-toe shoes are required!

Food Provided (Topper's Pizza)
