Next Workshop: March 28-29, 2009
The Concrete Countertop Workshop at your facility was excellent. As a concrete newbie, I learned much that will dramatically jump start my project to fabricate concrete patio tiles. The instructors were informative and completely open about their materials and methods, about the potential and limitations of highly refined concrete, about approaches and techniques that others use, and even about their mistakes. It takes courage to be open instead of secretive, and for me that made the workshop a huge success. I highly recommend it.
