- Las Marías de La María Living
-
Although it’s more commonly associated with construction sites, concrete is the star of the show when it comes to raw materials at the La María Living interior design studio. Here, mother-daughter duo María Alexandra and María Camila experiment with this material and bring objects to life giving them a highly pleasing esthetic without forgoing functionality and everyday uses.
In this course, learn techniques for creating decorative objects with concrete and how to put a spectacular finish on them by playing with color, textures and all their characteristics. When you’ve finished, you’ll be able to pluck ideas from your imagination and turn them into real-life concrete objects with your hands, including everything from pitchers to unique centerpieces.
Description
Start by getting to know your instructors and learning how both of them turned their passion into a unique way to transform interior spaces. They show you different types of influences that they draw from and give you an overview of everything included in the course.
Jump into the theory by learning about the history of concrete, the different types of cement that exist, and which ones you can find on the market. Then, see how to properly set up your workspace and go over the tools and materials used in the course.
Follow the La María Living process to create your own decorative objects starting with the idea phase. The Marías show you different types of molds and where to find them, as well as how to mix concrete and the steps involved in the casting process.
In the world of decoration, your imagination is the only limit. In the last unit, your instructors invite you to take some risks and experiment with different techniques. They also share some advice on how to care for the objects you create and put them to good use.
