From Form to Function NEW

Draw inspiration from nature to create a piece of functional art. Combine materials from the earth—concrete, sand, and plants—to design and make a stepping stone for your own indoor or outdoor space. Learn studio safety procedures, how to mix your own concrete, and how to harvest leaves and other plant materials sustainably. Explore the process of designing a stepping stone from casting the concrete through to placement in your garden or home.
