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.
Attending the event is free, scratch blocks are $75 each.
