Happy Wednesday everyone! Did any of you catch the season premier of Craft Wars last night!? Tim and I were really wanting to watch, but without cable it wasn’t really an option. But we’re super excited to catch the clips on TLC’s website!
Anyway, as promised I am posting some photos from our first DIY Concrete Class that we held this past weekend.
Of course with it being our first class, Tim and I were nervous about how things would flow, but other than going a little longer than planned the class was a major success!
To start things out Tim briefly covered concrete safety, the different types of concrete, and when to use the different types of concrete. Doesn’t he look so authoritative and handsome!? 🙂
After Tim covered some of the initial concrete facts, the crew was able to get out of their seats and do some hands on practice of different techniques they would need to create a beautiful finished product. The hands on aspect of our class is absolutely the most important. Seeing photos, even if they are step by step, never compares to the face to face help of a professional like Tim.
After covering some general concrete tips and hands-on activities, we moved into the instruction each person would need to actually create the piece they had chosen when they signed up for the class. Attendees had the option to make a concrete letter, vase, or lamp base.
Tim is so good at teaching people. I can’t tell you how much he prepared for this class. It was very important to both of us that we give people their money’s worth and very detailed instruction. I know there may be a tendency to think creating concrete pieces is simple and self explanatory, but believe me when I say there are so many things that can go wrong. Luckily we’ve done all the troubleshooting for our attenders and therefore are able to provide a frustration free experience! 🙂
Congrats on the success of your first class! If we lived close, we’d definitely be signing up!
🙂 I’d be at your classes if I were in your area! Looks great – Congrats!
If we are in town visiting family when you have your next one I WILL be there!
