Classes and Workshops with NWFLAA Member Marcy Eady
May 23rd
Wet Concrete Workshop with Marcy Eady
In this workshop everyone will make either a small sculpture or planter. You will learn the art of mixing the concrete and materials to use, and methods of sculpting the works so you achieve a quality finished product. Wet concrete gives you about 2 hours of easy deep carving, then several hours to refine your work before the concrete becomes too hard.
The workshop will be held on Jun 5 8:30 – 4(or until done) at 141 Homewood Dr , Ft Walton Beach. Cost $80. A 50% deposit is required upon registration. For more information or to sign up call 850-585-4967 or email
