How to make a Terrene. Some have asked, "Why are they so expensive?" Well, we decided to document the handmade craft process to answer that question. We will be featuring this in a video on the webpage within a week or so to give a behind the scenes answer of, in a nutshell, "It's a hell of a lot of work."
Eric just completed a double pour, which is essentially mocking up forms for two mold boards, yielding close to 15 Terrene's each - in 2 colors. All of this in our garage. I have this funny feeling I'm never going to park in the garage.
All Terrene's are formed by pouring into a mold, handmade and cut for the specific modules. The sticks form the drain holes. 
Ahhh...the secret recipe. I'll never tell!!! The recipe makes or breaks your concrete design. Eric has been working on his for over a year. 
Pour 1, Curing.
Pour 2. White.
Demolding. Very tedious. 
Each hole has to be individually hand drilled to remove the styrofoam. An then diamond-pad sanded, buffed, and polished. 
No mass manufacturing here!! (Note our trash cans in the back).
