Sugar art and sculpture has been taught in North America as an after thought for years. Some schools spend as little as a few hours covering it in their curriculum. Recently it is coming into a recognized art form of its own as Master Pastry Chefs bring these skills back from Europe where it is an established school of art.
The training program Jeffery offers is designed for the professional who would like to master the art of sugar sculpture. However an ambitious novice can pick up the skills quite well if they have an artistic flare. Equipment and supplies are provided as part of the course fee.
Due to frequent requests, as an addition we can add on an additional day and help you build a work station. Please enquire at time of class booking so we can round up the required materials and give an accurate quote on the price.
Please see our schedule and then contact Jeffery directly to see what openings there are for classes.
