Learn to make weatherproof mosaic-ready concrete forms from Styrofoam. Award-winning mosaic artists and mixed media sculptors Fred & Donnell Pasion will guide you through discussions and demonstrations as you create your own 3-D form from start to finish. 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 midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco along California's beautiful Central Coast.
