Sugarcraft Private Tuition and Sugarcraft Courses for your cake decorating requirements Scroll through for info. on Private Tuition here at my home in N.E. Surrey, easily reached from London and the South East of England. Individual Tuition One of the pleasures of sugarcraft is creating opportunities for introducing the craft to others through private tuition and small groups. I specialise in one-to-one instruction and for groups of two to three people who would like to share the costs of the same lesson. Contact me for more details about prices and dates, or to discuss particular skills you would like to learn. Dates are now fully booked until the beginning of March 2013 but please feel free to make enquiries by email at any time. All the materials are provided in the cost of lessons and students are able to use all the tools and equipment they need here without having to bring anything with them except a large apron or chef's whites - and their lunch!
