* 2 day Buddy Rhodes methods and materials comprehensive workshop.
This 2 day class provides an overview and beginning hands-on experience with the materials and methods involved with creating a 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 and a small three dimensional piece, 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. Do your own de-molding, polishing, and sealing. You will get gloves-on experience with mix consistency, color ratios, placing 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.
**3 day Advanced workshop.
This 3 day class is geared towards the concrete fabricator who is ready to take his/her skills to the next level. Using Buddy Rhodes' signature line of products, you will learn how to make seemingly complex molds and pieces seem easy. You will learn how to properly mix, spray and place GFRC for large 3 dimensional pieces. We will explore different materials for mold making, including rubber, composites and fabric forming. To keep it fun and fresh, every workshop will focus on a different project, so no two classes will be alike! This is a hands on class, so come prepared!
