CONCRETE VAULT WORKSHOPS
SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, GUANAJUATO, MEXICO

I am no longer doing workshops
but I am open to help people with special projects

​PAST WORKSHOPS

Workshops will work on vaulted roofs; stair railings; terrazzo and counter tops; spraying and finish plaster, light weight and hard sculpture;doors and windows; stains and colors; garden benches; and anything else you specifically request.

What's Included:
  • Instruction and materials-- vaults, movable formwork, light weight concrete sculpture, bucket mixers, use of fibers PLUS- basically whatever you want--terrazo,sand casting, stairs and rails, FC doors, poured dirt, ...I have tried a lot of stuff from The Owner Built Home, so most anything from this book is possible/probable.
  • Transportation in SMA --we'll need a van or a couple of taxis to visit sites and for daily rides from town to the ranch/work site. and 
  • Big lunch.

DRUG WARS Avoid the border -- San Miguel is as safe as Santa Fe, NM. Don't wear gold jewelry and don't buy drugs -- no problem -- same as in Santa Fe.

The idea will be to work alongside a few of my guys on different projects. We will get an incredible amount done in a week - you will see the process in fast motion. My guys are used to "hands-on Gringos" so no problem there.

 Weather in January and February is perfect - but bring a jacket.

For specific questions you can call me in the early evening CST at: 011 (52) 415 155 9526 (Please try e-mail before calling.)

YOU NOW NEED A PASSPORT TO RE-ENTER THE USA (Getting into Mexico is still easy)

To be on a mailing list for future workshops, please send me an E-mail with "FC" or WORKSHOP in the subject title so I can sort out the Spam and Junk Mail
