Scratch Block workshop, dinner and an aluminum pour!
All for $85
Your ticket includes instruction on how to create a scratch block, dinner at the new Durham Food Hall, and exclusive access to watch molten aluminum poured into the sand scratch block mold you created.
By the end of the event, you will be able to take home your aluminum artwork.
The details:
3pm the event begins at the Foundry.
530 Foster Street, Durham, North Carolina.
It’s the beautiful half-circle metal pavillion under the Durham Central Park Mural, and next to Liberty Warehouse Apartments.
You will have from 3 to 5pm to work on your scratch blocks.
What’s a scratch block? Glad you asked! It’s a 6x6” square block of hardened sand, with a 1/2” deep indentation. You scratch and carve a design, creating a pattern. We then pour molten aluminum into it and about 30 minutes later your aluminum relief tile is ready to take home.
Come with a specific design in mind or just arrive and wing it. We’ve seen both approaches work beautifully. We have all the tools and instruction you’ll need for fun and success.
Tickets include a $20 gift certificate to spend at Durham Food Hall. While you enjoy yourself with dinner from the Food Hall from 5-6pm, we will fire up the furnace. Now you are ready to watch our pour team work their magic with molten metal.
You will have exclusive and rare access to watch this pour!
After we pour the tiles you have created, our artists will pour some larger molds they have created. You are invited to stay and watch the fun!
Are we COVID friendly? Yes!! Your safety and wellbeing are very important to us.
Tickets are limited to 25 people, get yours as soon as possible!
