+Mix, mold and sculpt hypertufa into your own unique garden art. Over time, hypertufa will naturally build up a mossy green coat (due to the peat moss in the mix) which will be very striking on these mushrooms in a woodland setting.
+This two-morning workshop is open to beginners as well as experienced artists. You will make three hypertufa mushrooms (caps and stems) of varying heights (4"-8").
+At the end of the second day, the mushrooms will be allowed to cure for 14 days in my studio. I will then complete the final steps for you which include: wash mushrooms in dilute vinegar solution, glue caps to stems and attach a bamboo or metal stake. Once the assembly is complete, you will be notified by email to pick up your mushrooms- just in time for spring!
