Hypertufa is a material that can be used to create a variety of planters and other garden art, and the participants in Mansfield workshop will get creative with this substance using their own two hands.
Made up of a mixture of peat moss, cement and perlite, hypertufa can offer a way to create pots and other items utilizing techniques that have been in use since ancient times. Although the material may be modern in origin, it provides a rustic look that may pair well with rock gardens and succulent plantings as well as annuals and perennials.
The class, which will be taught at Kingwood Center Gardens, will be a hands-on activity, and each of the registrants will have a chance to make their own item. The instruction and materials will be supplied, and it was noted that the items will need to cure for a few days before they will be made available for pickup. The admission fee for Kingwood members is $28, while non-members will be asked to pay $35.
Workshops like this offer an introduction to a new hobby, and a flyer printing company will have many ideas for promoting it to the local area.
This introduction to the art of creating using hypertufa will be on offer on Thursday, July 29. Anyone who would like to secure a spot is invited to do so now.
