This continues the report of a new storage shed for the Ceramics Studio from 9/25/06. [from upper left] Expanded metal lath was applied to the outer walls, before they were covered with another coat of concrete. Construction staff Brendon Maloney and Mario Nuzzulese prepare a special concrete mix. Angus Gluck [with hat] headed this project.
The coating was moistened and cured for three weeks.

Once the first coating was cured, another thin coat of concrete was applied. Dry silt was added to this coating while it was wet.

This surface coating blends well with the surrounding structure.
The ceramics shed is complete. Well done!
