Foundry 101: Introduction to Foundry:

This course will serve as the most basic introduction to casting metals in the Knox Makers foundry. After a brief safety lecture and introduction, the course will focus on how to safely operate the foundry tools and equipment. We will learn by doing. All skill levels are welcomed to this course. Proceeds from the course will be donated to the blacksmithing zone.
Wear leather closed-toe shoes (steel-toe optional, but recommended), denim jeans, and a long-sleeved natural fiber shirt. A head covering (welding cap/bandanna) is also recommended.

Let’s have fun and melt some aluminum!

Members cost is $14.96.  Non-members are priced at $39.96.  There will be a 4 person maximum and a 2 person minimum. If the minimum isn’t met 24 hours in advance the class will be canceled.
