shar, I replied to your post about smaller bags in the sphere thread.
I had to go track down PSL. There are or were a couple people here from Florida. I'll be there next week for a car auction in Kissimmee but no time to teach, sorry. It's really simple to self teach. This isn't rocket science. Mix your dry ingredients well (should be all one color) before adding water. Make sure you use a release agent (like baking spray or plastic bags) on/in your molds. Dump mix in the bottom and tamp, add drain holes. Start making hamburger or hotdog shaped patties to go around to make the walls. Smooth and smush the patties together. Keep opening up the drain holes cause they close as your working on the walls. Once you reach the top of the mold either flatten with a trowel or piece od wood, or mound up for a round top edge. You can decorate the top edge by adding stones, tiles, glass pieces or carve a design. Sprtiz with some water and place in a plastic bag in the shade,unmold in 24 hours, clean up the sides with a wire brush or leave the sides smooth, sprtiz with water and put back in the plastic bag in the shade or put in a water bath for a couple of days to finish the cure. You can plant in 5 or 6 days. It's so easy a caveman can do it! LOL!

Billy Ann, I am planning on making stepping stones first, then large pots. I ordered some molds that are only 1" thick. Will that be thick enough for stepping stones?

sharbear, go to www.almostancientpots.com This is the site of an excellent hypertufa teacher who frequently holds classes in Orlando. I've not checked her schedule because she lives only a few blocks from me. I've taken her class and thoroughly enjoyed it. cora

Hey Neighbor! I can't really teach a class as I'm still trying to teach myself, but I would love to find someone that wants to play in the mud as much as I do. I live in SW PSL.
