Are you ready to expand your mosaic and sculptural abilities? This technique-learning workshop is a great intro to making 3-dimensional concrete forms for mosaic.<\/p>\n
The workshop begins on Friday<\/strong> with \u201cIntro to Working with Concrete\u201d. Through a series of discussions and demonstrations, you will learn about the benefits of using concrete as a building material. You will also be taught a few commonly used concrete mixes and how each apply to various forming techniques that will include rebar and wire mesh, sand casting, and more. You will then make a bowl out of a hypertufa mix as well as other small concrete objects, as time allows.<\/p>\n On Saturday and Sunday<\/strong> you will learn the basic process used to create light weight, weatherproof, mosaic-ready forms out of polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) and concrete. You will learn basic sculpting techniques using hotwire foam tools and 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 concrete sculpting goals.<\/p>\n Note: No mosaic will be applied at this workshop<\/strong>. However, after taking this workshop, many have added the mosaic at our mosaic workshop at Passiflora Studio or at the 4-day Camp Ocean Pines retreat.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you ready to expand your mosaic and sculptural abilities?
