Water, Light & Fire: Advanced 3-Dimensional Mold Making

3 Days

The possibilities of concrete are endless. Yet too many pros are limiting themselves to competing against granite with boring, flat slabs with a few embedments and the occasional integral sink, because they don't have the confidence to take concrete to the next dimension.

Learn how in this class, and you will wow your clients and satisfy your creativity like never before. Imagine confidently creating amazing three-dimensional works of art using all the elements - water, light and fire. Your concrete will never be the same old same old again.
