Hypertufa Garden Mushroom
Hypertufa garden ornaments make unique holiday gifts
Create a rustic mushroom garden ornament from hypertufa – an artificial stone material that is made from Portland cement mixed with other materials. Once the mixture hardens, it looks like rough old stone, but is much lighter than solid cement and withstands harsh weather conditions. Over time moss and lichens will grow on your creation, giving it an aged organic look.
Rebecca Boylan and Mary Tilger have crafted many hypertufa creations and will guide you through the process of creating your own handcrafted garden sculpture. All materials provided; wear old clothes and bring a pair of rubber kitchen gloves.
$30 Fee for members $35 Fee for non-members
Pre-registration required.
