Sugarcraft tuition and tutorials
Today, I thought I’d talk about my sugarcraft tuition and tutorials and share with you some behind-the-scene shots of my recent Café au Lait Tutorial shoot. I’m also sharing some snippets of the actual Tutorial too. Read on!
The photographer
Firstly though, I must mention the photographer, Amanda Manby Photography. I first met Amanda as a new neighbour when I moved house in 2015. So, as I admire Amanda’s photography and feel completely comfortable in her company, she was my obvious choice. Amanda did a great job, providing her images very promptly. In fact, all the photos were such excellent quality I chose more than 50 step-by-step photographs to accompany my comprehensive instructions. Thank you, Amanda, for doing such a fabulous job! x
Café au Lait dahlia tutorial
I’m excited to release this, my first, tutorial for a Café au Lait Dahlia. I’m also planning more in the future. They’ll always be about sugar flowers though. Character modelling is not my forte. Yes, I greatly admire those who are experts at character modelling and I could persevere in the same way as I have with sugar flowers and perhaps become half-decent at it. But, I have no desire to master them so, for me, it’ll always be about the flowers (and the piping!).
My tutorials are ideal if you’re unable to travel to me for private tuition. Of course, for a true learning experience my 1-to-1 tuition, which I’ve offered for four years now, is invaluable. It’s completely tailored to you. But it is never limited to that. It provides you with the added benefit and the perfect opportunity of gleaning all sorts of hints and tips – you can ask me anything. Really! (When it comes to sharing what I’ve learnt over ten years I’m a complete open book!) But, if you’re simply seeking comprehensive instructions on a specific flower then my downloadable tutorials are a great resource.
Sugarcraft tuition and tutorials – behind the scene shots
For the shoot, I paid more attention to my hands looking half decent than applying any make-up, so the behind-the-scenes shots of me are, erm, au naturel. (Eek!)
Café au Lait dahlia tutorial
The tutorial is available to download in PDF format and covers tools, materials and method with step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions. Here are some screenshot snippets (not too many though – it has to earn its keep!).
I’m thrilled with the response to my Tutorial. Thank you to all of you who’ve bought it! Please feel free to share your results – I would love to see them!
