Hypertufa is an anthropic rock made from various aggregates bonded together using Portland cement.

​

Hypertufa is intended as a manufactured substitute for natural tufa, which is a slowly precipitated limestone rock; being very porous, it is favorable for plant growth.

Hypertufa is popular for making garden ornaments, pots and land forms.

​

Hypertufa was invented for use in alpine gardens. Alpine gardeners formerly used antique animal watering troughs, which became rare and expensive.

​

To add earthy uniqueness, i often impart leaves into the mold. I've also included rocks and other natural elements.

​

I have been experimenting with larger pieces as well as other uses.

​

I've created a number of cement lamps.
