CLUB WORKSHOP - MAKING HYPERTUFA TROUGHS -WAIT LIST ONLY

  • Mary Patterson's Barn 711 Rockland Road Rockland, DE, 19732 United States (map)

This workshop is fully registered. If you wish to be put on the waitlist, please contact Wendy Russell

Hypertufa is a mix of cement, peat moss, and perlite, products readily available at any home or garden center. Combine the ingredients, add water, pack the mixture into a handmade mold, and set it aside to cure for a couple of days. When you pop off the mold, you’ll have created a bit of the Old World, right in your own backyard. You can build a hypertufa garden trough and enjoy its beauty for years to come. In fact, the older and more weathered it gets, the better it looks.

Workshop Leaders: Beverley Rowland and Mary Patterson

PLEASE BRING THE FOLLOWING:

Heavy duty rubber gloves

3 gallon plastic bucket and trowel

Wire cutters and a wire brush for use when trough is unmolded

A mold such as a plastic sweater box, large salad bowl, etc, approx 8” deep.
