This Wednesday 'g' will be welcoming Bobbi Henley of IceStone, LLC for a continuing education workshop as the final presentation in the Lunch and Learn Professional Series for Spring 2011.  Architects, designers, LEED APs, and other professionals are urged to attend this informative workshop entitled Going for the Gold: A Case Study of Recycled Glass and Cement Surfaces with Cradle to Cradle Certification,  on Wednesday, May 11th from Noon - 1PM at the 'g' showroom in the North Market of Mashpee Commons (and yes, we'll actually feed you). 

Cradle to Cradle® is the most comprehensive and stringent of environmental certifications. This workshop presentation reviews how a manufacturer of recycled glass and cement surfaces achieved the Gold level of certification.
 
All professionals in the building and construction fields can benefit from this insider's view to an extraordinary surface material, IceStone, and the story of how this NY-based manufacturer created their product line and the environmental and social commitments they addressed in that process.  Attendees will learn of the variety of uses, aesthetic attributes, and methods of design for one of the leading new environmental products of the 21st century.
