2012 HYPERTUFA STUDIOS

Hypertufa Studios 

The Hypertufa Studio offers a collaborative experience where you learn to make Steve’s “green” version of HYPERTUFA, a mixture of cement, sand and recycled paper.  It is a fascinating medium with great creative potential.  You will mix, mold and sculpt concrete and hypertufa into unique and functional garden art including planters, platters, bird baths, stepping stones…if you can imagine it, we’ll try to make it!  Most participants happily take home 4-5 finished items from the two-day session.  Each is made up of a Saturday and Sunday morning from 9:00-12:00. Total cost for this studio is $80, comprised of a $50 non-refundable registration fee and $30 paid the first day of the studio.  This studio is for both beginners and advanced tufa-makers!
