COUNTERTOP FABRICATION TRAINING / CLASSES

Avonite Advanced Fabrication Seminar

This 3-day hands-on training seminar is one of the most comprehensive fabrication/installation training programs in the solid surface market today. Our intention is to offer the serious fabricator a challenging program designed to enhance understanding of the fabrication/installation process and to develop skills to an advanced level. This class is not designed for the novice fabricator. It will require some level of previous experience, either with solid surface products or in a related field.

Buddy Rhodes Concrete Training

Buddy Rhodes has been building concrete countertops and furniture for over 25 years, and is characterized by many as the ‘father’ of concrete countertops. These courses give you the opportunity to learn with Buddy and his team.

We offer three courses:

  1. Basic – Each two-day basic training is comprehensive and informative about each phase of concrete fabrication, with individual attention and opportunity for hands-on learning about concrete countertops and other decorative concrete projects. Students gain knowledge of materials, forming, mixing and placing the concrete mix, finishing techniques, colors, sealing, maintenance, and marketing tips.
  2. Advanced – The advance training carries this information into more advanced techniques, including moldmaking, vertical and 3-D forming, and adapting the basic techniques to achieve your design goals.
  3. GFRC – We also are offering a one day workshop on techniques utilizing GFRC technology for concrete countertop and furniture fabrication.

Training class size is kept small, generally not exceeding 12 students. Each training day begins at 8:30 am and closes at 4:30. Continental breakfast is provided each day, with a Friday Japanese lunch next door to Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products and a Saturday walk down the street for burgers outdoors on the Bay.
