Though many people still think of concrete as being used for foundations and sidewalks, this amazing material is now commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms in the form of concrete countertops. When you make a concrete countertop with your own hands, you are doing yourself and the earth a small favor. It's greener, more affordable, potentially healthier, and a lot more fun than buying monotonous granite countertops that are mined, fabricated, and shipped by boat from faraway countries. CHENG Concrete Exchange has been writing, collecting, and curating publications on the topic ofconcrete craft and design since it's inception.
