Iron Melt

Membership Drive

October 19th

Return to the AIA to watch the Iron Melt and take home your art!

The next Iron Melt will be Spring 2025, likely a Saturday in May. 

Watch for the next scheduled date so you can see the pour in person, even if you aren’t participating with a mold. The pour should happen between 1pm and 2:00 pm. Molten iron can be a little finicky, please be patient.

The mold pickup and drop off location is at the AIA Welcome Center (formerly the Big Bear Lodge), 106 Route 13, Brookline, NH.

Molds must be picked up in person, they are too heavy to mail. You can reserve a mold online through the store. To pick up your mold, visit the Welcome Center on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 11 and 4 or Fridays 10-3. Watch for the green OPEN sign for other hours. If the green OPEN sign is not out, visit Brookline’s Finest right next door – they are open every day, 9-5. In either case, please print or be prepared to show proof of purchase on your phone. Order online and select “Pay by Check” to pay with check (or cash) at pickup. Please print or show on your phone the confirmation email to pick up your mold.

Drop molds off at the Welcome Center or with Brookline’s Finest. Return the carved mold, carving tool and board. They may be returned the morning of the Iron Pour by 10am. Returning them by the day prior allows us to prep ahead of time for a more timely pour.

The Iron Pour is estimated between 1 and 2pm; however, molten iron can be finicky. Please be patient. Once poured, the casts need to be cooled, cleaned and have rough edges removed. This is a good time to explore the trails! Then, return to the Studio to claim your unique work of iron art.

The cost for the Iron Melt is $45 for non-members and $35 for members.
