They look wonderful, better than trying to mess about with concrete I should think.
How do you buy it? Is it in powder form?
I see this is dated 2011, I have only just come across it Bik.
Really interesting.

Maybe I wasn't very clear Bik, I meant how do you buy the tufa stuff in the first place, so that you can make them yourself? I would love to try it.

Ah! I must look up the recipe!
hypertufaing - ha - a new word there Bik!!
I suppose you could use anything for shape of the pots - for example boxes or round tins or anything - whatever you could find!!

I can see it has been made in a mould but what is it made of Bik? Was the mould a plastic bag with a strap to secure it? It looks quick setting to leave the marks on the outside, but has it been scored in the inside ? Did you add the bits that look like broken biscuit along the top, at the end?
It is such an interesting surface, perhaps the material is called hypertuf. I thought it was the name of the piece.
Questions, Questions, Questions.
