Elder G. Jones
Sandpudding Studio
Concrete Sculpture

Wet-carved concrete is a technique where three parts of sand and one part of Portland Cement are mixed with water. This is placed in a form and allowed to set until it is firm enough to hold its shape. The form is removed. The piece is sculpted using simple hand tools until the mixture is too hard to carve effectively. All work in this site was produced by this method. The wet-carved concrete link below will lead you to detailed instructions.

Except for the sculpture, most of my work is named descriptively. As the number of pieces produced began to grow this was the only way I could clearly keep up with what was what. Consequently generic groups developed like the "Tree Planters" or "Phyto (plant-like) Planters". During the workshop circuit of 2008 people kept asking me about the name Elder. It's not a title, It's my given name. When updates happen they will be primarily on the Workshop Schedule, Gallery Associations Pages and in Recent Works.
