Purchase and carve a mold at home with the provided tool, or your tools at home. Return the mold to the AIA on or before the 10th of May (day of returns should be to the Welcome Center by 10am). On May 10th, watch molten iron poured into your mold. Once the volunteers cool the mold and grind off rough edges you can take home the iron tile cast from your mold. Sturdy magnets are available for purchase to hang your mold.
As the furnace is heating, visitors are invited to participate in trail clean up on the hill. There will be an air horn to call visitors in time to watch the pour.
If you are not able to attend the pour, or you are not able to wait for your tile to be ground, they can be picked up at the Welcome Center starting Tuesday, May 13 between 11 am and 7 pm.
The molds are $45 for non-members and $35 with annual membership. Pick up your mold at the AIA Welcome Center. Use this link to purchase: https://andresinstitute.org/store-2/mold/
Rain date is May 17th.
