Learn to make weatherproof mosaic-ready concrete forms from Styrofoam from award-winning mosaic artists and mixed media sculptors Fred & Donnell Pasion. They will guide you through discussions and demonstrations as you create your own 3-D form from start to finish. At a workshop you will learn:
1. Basic design concepts and layout.
2. How to safely use the latest hot wire tools for carving.
3. How to mix, apply and finish a durable concrete surface.
4. Curing and preparing your sculpture for mosaic.
Passiflora Mosaics is located in the town of Grover Beach, California - midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco along California's beautiful Central Coast. Click here for workshop information.
