"Getting Stoned"
Stepping Stone Class
Sunday August 9th 12noon-1:30pm

$35...for a 12" round

Come "get stoned" making a stepping stone from concrete and various natural stones. You can create flowers, leaves and anything your mind can think up with these rocks in concrete. I will also have a limited selection of ceramic leaves, ceramic mosaic pieces, and glass gems that could be used on the steppers as well. I have also sourced out some colored tumbled glass that makes beautiful flowers as well. As most of you know, I will have a "plethora" of components that you can add to your stepping stones to make them uniquely you.

These Stepping Stones do not have to be embedded in the ground, they can also be displayed using a picture stand, that way it could sit up in your flower bed, deck or garden. I will have stands that you can purchase if you would like, otherwise you could pick them up almost anywhere.

Ideally these Stepping Stones will need to spend a few days at the studio after you have made them. I will unmold them and clean them up for you a day or two after class, and then replace them back into a plastic bag to continue the curing process until you are able to come back and pick it up. Something to make note of, concrete does not dry, it "cures", and concrete needs 28 days for it to cure properly to its true hardness.

You can make up to three Stepping Stones with each class. ☺️☺️☺️

Art on Clark is located inside the historic Clarkbridge Hall building at 1402 Clark Street in Manitowoc. We are on the first floor in the middle of the building on the east side. The east door will be unlocked and open during class time, the front door is always open. If anyone would need to use the handicap entrance, it is located at the back of the building, and I would just need to know if you plan to use that entrance so I can have it unlocked for you.

I look forward to some creative fun this coming Sunday!!!

I learned something today, the new brown dye that I used on the three small stones, it set up much harder and faster than the other dyed one or the regular stepping stone mix. I'm not sure if there's something in it that causes that but it was clearly harder to scrub the top to expose all the goodness. I remember back in the day when I was making a lot of concrete things, that white Portland cement set up much harder and much faster than regular Portland cement. I still don't understand why it was just something that I noticed.

So I also ordered a different brown concrete dye. This one I used the same amount of dye but twice as much concrete and it's more of a chocolate brown than a brick brown like the first one. I will let you know how these turn out. ☺️🤷‍♀️☺️

We had a fun gathering today. Lots of laughs and stories. I love all the stones you made! Super awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

Still working on the dragonfly stone, but in the meantime I've always wanted to explore dying cement. This is just a small one I threw together in 20 minutes. With it still wet it looks like a very dark terra cotta color, so it'll be interesting to see how it changes as it cures then dries.

All scrubbed and cleaned. Looking awesome ladies! 😊😍😊

Thank you Heather for this class today, lots of fun. Great designs and creative stone work! The dragonfly gem ones are still prototypes in the works. I'm trying different techniques to retain the color on the crystals and stone size.
More on those later ☺️☺️☺️.
