2011 Cottage Life Show
Many thanks to all who visited us at the Cottage Life Show. Although we’re a little sore from moving so much concrete in and out of the International Centre, it was great to introduce some of our new sink designs, colours and styles. The show was a resounding success and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.
Fabric Forming Techniques
Fabric-forming is the future of concrete, now. It is an amazing method that can be employed in the creation of custom sinks, planters, wall panels, fireplace surrounds, etc. There is a strong argument that fabric is the optimal material for creating forms, with the primary being that it creates a natural shape, a form that cannot be created any other way. We recently learned this technique at a workshop put on by Brandon Gore of Gore Design, located in Phoenix. This now allows us to create unique custom shapes to fit almost any application.

3 dimensional wall tiles
These 3 dimensional charcoal concrete wall tiles referred to as The Dune Tile were made for a jewellery store and were the creation of Toronto designer Stephen Lindsay. (www.urbanproduct.ca) The tiles can be placed in various patterns, each creating their own unique illusory effect.
