Workshop Information

Course Outline

In this fully interactive workshop, you will learn how to create sugarcraft corals and seabed creatures. This three-day course will teach you the fundamentals of working with both sugar florist and sugar modelling paste as well as learning to take inspiration from the wonders of the sea. 

Guiding you step by step through the process of preparing and colouring your sugar paste, you will learn a variety of different techniques including designing, hand forming, sculpting, modelling as well as colouring, dusting and assembling. 

No prior knowledge of sugarcraft techniques is necessary just a desire to learn and good hand eye coordination.
