You are invited to bend rebar and lath in this Ferro-Cement Intro Workshop. While ferro-cement is a high-embodied-cost method, its versatility in sculptural architecture is infinite. This workshop examines the intersection of metalwork and masonry, focusing on the techniques Jim Hubbell used to create his iconic domes and grooves. Learn how to bend rebar and lath in this 2-day workshop where participants will create their own smaller art piece to take home.
