Hypertufa Workshop 2011 Pt1



Hypertufa Workshop - Saturday August 16 & 17 from 6PM to 8PM at the barns at Tinker Nature Center on Calkins Road.

Master Gardener Laurie Burtner has volunteered to do a hypertufa workshop for our group. Members would pay only for materials - just a few dollars. We would need to meet for about 2.5 hours and then again for about an hour the next day.

Here is a list of the items that you would need to collect - some could be shared. We would need to purchase the product to make the mix, so an accurate count is necessary. There are also pictures below of a planter and a mill wheel that Laurie has made.

Your mold

1 Large flat mixing container (approx. 30x 24x 6 deep) in shed

 Face Mask - a white painters face mask (important to use especially when mixing dry ingredients)

 Water Spray Bottle - $1 store bottle or reused Windex or soap spray bottle is OK

 Sharp old kitchen knife, for cutting wet tufa and scraping edge of planter

 Wire brush (for when planter is unmolded)

 Rubber Gloves - thick Rubbermaid type
