What will I learn during the course?

You’ll learn the fundamentals of working with GFRC (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete), including mould making, mixing, spraying, casting, demoulding, and sealing. The course is structured to give you both a theoretical foundation and real, hands-on experience.

What language is the Mallorca course taught in?

The course is taught in English.

For our overseas visitors please note that English and German are widely spoken on the island.

Do I need any prior experience with concrete or design?

Not at all. The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some experience looking to deepen their skills or transition into making professionally.

How many people are in each course?

We keep the numbers small - typically 4 participants - to ensure everyone gets plenty of one-on-one guidance and hands-on time.

Where is the course held?

The course takes place at our fully equipped workshop Carrer de s'Escola Graduada, 20, 07350 Binissalem, Balearic Islands - where we design and manufacture our own line of high-end concrete products.

How long is the course and what are the daily start/end times?

The course runs for two full days, typically from 8.30 AM to 4 PM each day. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to get settled.

Is it really hands-on, or do we mostly watch demonstrations?

It’s absolutely hands-on. You’ll be making real pieces from start to finish, under expert guidance. We’ve designed the course to make sure you’re actively involved in every stage of the process.

What will I make, and do I get to take it home?

You’ll create a full-size concrete vanity top (approx. 1200mm) and a round concrete table top (approx. 900mm). These are yours to keep. If you’re travelling, we can help arrange freight after the course.

Does this course qualify me to start a concrete business?
