Sugarcraft 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 each individual course, prices, dates, or to discuss particular skills you would like to learn. Courses are now fully booked until the beginning of October, but please feel free to make enquiries by email at any time.
Courses usually take place at my home in North East Surrey, U.K., and is easily accessible from London and Guildford. 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!
