Concrete Planters Workshop

How to make concrete planters



2 hours Location Rozelle Class size 1 to 20 guests   $99 (Afterpay available)

Calling all plant-lovers! Learn how to make your own concrete planters at this fun Sydney workshop. You will also take home your stylish concrete planters to house your favourite succulents!

This class is great for beginners, as long as you are willing to get your hands dirty! Your instructor will take you through the basics of concrete making as well as how to decorate a pre-made planter using contemporary styles such as the marble effect.

The class will begin with step-by-step instructions on how to mix concrete from scratch and then move on to concrete moulds and how they are used. Prepare to let your inner creative out in the second stage of the workshop, where you will learn colouring and decorating effects for concrete planters and get to try some yourself.

At the end of the class you will take home three concrete planters: two that you made yourself and one premade planter decorated by you! You will also have opened a whole world of possibilities with concrete making well beyond concrete planters. You can apply these same skills to creating jewellery, furniture and many other homewares.

  • 5/5 from Georgia Jones, attended Sep 2023: Purchased this class for my mum and I and we absolutely loved it! Holly was super informative and made the class really enjoyable. We learnt the basics of mixing concrete and a few different design techniques. Small class size which meant there was time to ask questions and get help when required.

  • 5/5 from Monica Hood, attended Feb 2021: I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Our teacher Holly is fantastic, her knowledge of cement and what you can create with it is excellent. Holly is very generous with her ideas and gives lots of advice and tips on how to create with cement. I would love to take another course with Holly.
