1-day countertop essentials workshop Who should take the Essentials Workshop?
Recommended for professionals and do-it-yourselfers wanting a complete and approachable hands-on learning experience on how to make a concrete kitchen or bathroom countertop. This workshop is considered a primer to the Advanced Concrete Countertop Design Training for those with no prior experience with concrete, construction, or using shop tools.
Portions of this workshop are hands-on so expect to get "dirty." We'll have aprons and gloves on hand, but dress comfortably in "workshop wear." We recommend dressing in layers as the training room can be quite chilly early in the morning with temps dipping in the low 50's during the winter months.
