hypertufa by the fancy real (A.K.A. Bruce Price)

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2019

NOON TO 5 PM

OUTSIDE MATTER, 2134 MARKET ST, DENVER, CO 80205

 

Celebrate spring with Hypertufa (i.e. lightweight cement) by iconic Denver artist Bruce Price. Price creates these scrumptious, pastel-colored pots from a combination of shredded coconut shells, Perlite and cement. The elements in each pot often look like macaroons, candies, pastries and/or gems. Price’s combination of organic and geometric structures, soft palettes, and painterly compositions pair beautifully with the thick, fleshy leaves of the succulents. The event will feature unplanted as well as planted pots with both cold hardy and soft succulents in a variety of price points from $25 to $350.

"The term 'hypertufa' refers to a type of artificial stone, and is a conglomerate of the words 'tufa,' a natural volcanic rock and 'hyper' a prefix meaning excessively or extremely; hypertufa are extremely rock-like containers." - Martha Stewart
