Two-Day Buddy Rhodes Basics Workshop
This class provides an overview and beginning hands-on experience with the materials and methods involved with creating a simple concrete countertop, either pre-cast or cast-in-place.

You will acquire an understanding of the steps involved in planning and creating a countertop slab, using the full array of methods used by commercial fabricators, including templating, mold-making, mixing and coloring, upside down and right side up forming techniques, reinforcement options, and glass fibers.

Get gloves-on experience with mix consistency, color ratios, reinforcement, pressing technique, grinding, sealing and waxing. Review pour and vibrate methods and GFRC techniques, and go over trouble shooting, discussing many tips of the trade.

This workshop is appropriate for do-it-yourselfers and anyone new to the craft of decorative concrete forming. You will leave the class with a basic overview of concrete countertop creation and the information and introductory experience necessary to start practicing in the home shop.
