Wet Carved Concrete Workshop 3-Day Experience

Explore the art of wet carved concrete during a three-day, hands-on workshop that guides you from first sketch to finished sculpture. Participants design and create a vertical piece such as a tall planter or sculptural form using a straightforward sand and cement mix along with specialized carving tools. No prior experience is required, only curiosity and a willingness to try something new. The experience begins with an introduction to the process and design planning that sets you up for success. Vertical shapes are recommended, and the group prepares materials together by measuring and dry blending sand and cement at a three-to-one ratio, portioning the mix into buckets, setting up individual stations with cylindrical molds, and reviewing example pieces for inspiration. If the first session is missed, arriving early on the second day makes it easy to catch up. Finished works typically measure about 10 by 12 inches or 9 by 14 inches and weigh roughly 40 to 50 pounds. The second session focuses on mixing by hand, packing the material into forms, allowing it to set, then removing the mold to carve directly into the slowly curing concrete. During the set period, there is time to look at reference images, sketch ideas, and discuss carving techniques. Support and one-on-one guidance are available throughout. Many participants complete their carving in around five hours. An optional set of ten custom carving tools can be purchased for $25. Plan to devote the full day, since total working time can reach about eight hours depending on temperature and stamina. When carving is complete, there is no cleanup or heavy moving required, just a moment to appreciate what you created. The final session is dedicated to finishing touches. You will true up the base, sign the underside, rinse away loose material, and begin curing through either water submersion or periodic soaking. The space is tidied, a brief celebration and group photo mark the wrap, and pieces can head home right away or be picked up or shipped later if needed. The group will decide the schedule together. Participants leave with a completed sculpture, practical knowledge of wet carving techniques, and the confidence to continue at home, with tools available for purchase. Refunds, minus credit card fees, are available up to two weeks before the workshop begins. After that window the fee is non-refundable, though tickets may be transferred to a friend.
