In this Cast Iron Art workshop you will use software to design your unique memorial pet marker, then use a CNC router to create the “positive” that you will cast into a sand/resin mold. Your completed mold will be filled with cast iron on Saturday, September 9 during our annual Night of Fire event.

This is a two session class. In the first session you will design your marker and learn to use the CNC router to carve out your design. In the second session you will learn to create the mold that will be used to create your personalized piece of iron art.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to wear long pants and close toed shoes. We'll provide the rest of the safety gear you'll need.  Email workshops@wsmixxer.org with questions.
