Class info:
Held in my home, these hands on, practical and fun basic sugar modelling sessions are aimed at beginners/those with little previous experience in sugar modelling.
Classes are being developed around themes (farmyard animals, pets, baby shower, and Christmas) with each class lasting around 3 hours. We’ll be focussing on making simple, characterful and lighthearted sugar models that should make you smile. As we won’t be making realistic, lifelike or detailed models, there’s no need to worry if you aren’t artistic.
During the session you’ll learn;
- how to colour and work with modelling paste and how it’s different from sugar paste (also known as fondant) as well as how to store your sugar models;
- how to make a number of simple sugar models appropriate to the theme of the class you have chosen.
Class numbers are limited to a maximum of 4 and while children (over 14) are welcome to classes, they need to be accompanied by a paying adult.
Class themes are:
Farmyard animals – we’ll be making as many of the following sugar models as time in our 3 hour class permits: sheep, pig (in 2 different poses), duck, cow and horse. Models made may vary slightly from those shown.
