Workshops at Stone Soup Concrete

Stone Soup Concrete's workshops are designed to provide you with the means for an education, rather than the framework for certification. You will not leave with a bag of mix, a textbook or any clichés. You will leave with a more thorough understanding and practical hands-on experience for making beautiful concrete countertops and other architectural elements. We hope you will find our openness to sharing our techniques, processes, and business practices refreshing.

We believe that community is essential to the development of a strong artisan based industry, so we remain in close contact with many of our former students. A good number of them have become industry leaders themselves.

 

All workshops include:

· A special Welcome dinner with a guest countertop producer.

· Hands-on participation with the design & fabrication of a real project.

· A follow-up CD/DVD of the actual course.

· Time aside daily to discuss the business & art of concrete.

· A continental breakfast and simple working lunch daily.


Upcoming Dates:

Advanced: June 5 - 8, 2008 with a Welcome Dinner at 7:30 on Wednesday, June 4

Basic: August 15 - 17, 2008 with a Welcome Dinner at 7:30 on Thursday, August 14

 

It was a rewarding experience to work elbow to elbow with pioneers and innovators and be immersed in proven techniques for making beautiful countertops. I came away with absolute confidence that we can add countertops to our service offerings, and be able to create pieces that customers will be happy to pay for.

Having recently attended beginning and advanced concrete workshops at Stone Soup Concrete I can enthusiastically recommend the classes to anyone interested in learning how to fabricate concrete counter tops whether professionally or for personal use. The structure of the classes, using actual projects to demonstrate methods and materials, was well organized and particularly effective. The atmosphere was collegial and Mike, Mike and Tom were able to answer any questions with informative answers. The food was great too!
