Making Styrofoam / Concrete Forms for Mosaic

This 3-day intensive workshop will focus entirely on the popular technique of creating light weight, weather resistant, 3-dimensional, mosaic-ready forms out of Styrofoam (polystyrene), fiber mesh and concrete.

You Will Learn:

  • Basic sculpting techniques, including profile carving.
  • How to use Hot Wire foam carving tools.
  • How to base & anchor your sculpture.
  • How to mix and apply a durable concrete system.

There will also be time to discuss any dream projects that you would like to see realized. You will leave with a mosaic-ready sculpture along with informative handouts that will enable you to pursue your mosaic sculpture goals.

Note: NO MOSAIC WILL BE APPLIED at this workshop. However, you can choose to register for a mosaic workshop at Passiflora Studio or for the 4-day mosaic retreat at Camp Ocean Pines to finish your project.

Our workshops require a great deal of pre-planning, making a personal commitment to you as an individual including preparing your hand made project. When students cancel or ask to reschedule at the last minute, we lose money. As a small business, we are unable to absorb these costs and still keep our classes reasonably priced. In fairness to all of our customers we are unable to make any exceptions to our policy. If you are unable to attend a workshop at the last minute, we suggest giving your spot to a friend!

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE ANY CLASS.
