Episode 34: Global Craftsmanship - Realizing a Client's Vision in Concrete

In Episode 34 of 'The Maker & The Mix,' hosts Caleb and Jeff recap the thrill and success of the recent full Ultimate Craft Concrete Workshop. This special episode takes listeners behind the scenes of an extraordinary week, where 14 students from diverse corners of the globe, including Nigeria and Sweden, converged to bring a client's vision to life.

The project at hand was no small feat – a comprehensive fireplace surround encompassing a hearth, mantel, and intricately crafted 7/16" thick wall panels. This real client project provided the perfect platform for students to immerse themselves in the entire process, from the initial concept to the final creation.

Caleb and Jeff delve into the details of the workshop, highlighting how it transcends typical learning experiences by putting real-world application at the forefront. The episode focuses on the ethos of 'doing, not just talking.' Actions speak louder than words, a principle vividly demonstrated in this workshop as students actively engaged in every step of the crafting process.

This discussion isn't just about the technicalities of working with concrete; it’s a deeper exploration of the philosophy that drives 'The Maker & The Mix.' Caleb and Jeff share their insights on the importance of hands-on experience, the value of diverse perspectives in learning, and the transformative power of turning ideas into tangible reality.

Tune in to Episode 34 for a journey through the challenges and triumphs of a truly global workshop experience, and get inspired by the stories of students who are now equipped to tackle similar projects in their own ventures. 'The Maker & The Mix' continues to be a beacon of knowledge and inspiration in the world of Craft Concrete, proving that the best way to learn is by doing.
