Creating Hypertufa Containers: a 2-Day Workshop

HYPERTUFA CONTAINER WORKSHOP

In this 2-day workshop, Chadwick Arboretum Volunteer Allen Fabian will teach you how to create beautiful hypertufa containers.  A planted trough can be a garden unto itself, highlighting a variety of textures, colors and heights. Each class participant should be able to make two containers from materials supplied. 

Session One takes place on Monday, October 21th, 2024 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. - Participants will learn about the history of hypertufa, mix the ingredients, build a container, and learn how to release a finished container from its mold, with one-on-one instruction.

Session Two takes place on Tuesday, October 22th, 2024 from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Participants will remove pots from mold and add texture.

Hypertufa is perfect for Ohio weather year round, durable and long-lasting art in your garden. By the time you have ended the class, you will be able to teach the class yourself! All materials, gloves and handouts provided. Please come dressed in your garden clothes.
