Exciting News....






Firstly I would like to wish all of you a peaceful Christmas and a very happy and healthy new year.

I have exciting news about next year - I am going to be moving house again, and will have a studio workshop at the new place so that I can concentrate on my sugarcraft work once more. The good news is that I will be able to teach in my own studio again after a break of four years. I'm planning that the classes will be for a maximum of four people to ensure the best assistance and supervision. The cost of the full-day classes will include use of all equipment and materials, along with refreshments and a light lunch.

There will be some mini half-day classes, and I will also be offering one-to-one classes (weekdays only) starting at two hours, depending on the project you would like to learn.

If you have a group of four friends who would like to come together during the week, classes can be arranged to suit your group.

I have promised various people  that I will travel to different parts of the country for weekend workshops held in hotels- if you are interested in the possibility of a workshop near you, please let me know.

In the next few weeks I will be working on the new timetable, so if you have any specific requests please let me know so that I can consider it.

I will be holding sugar flower-making classes, and intend to have fresh flowers available where possible for the very best results.

Modelling fairies, babies and royal icing classes will also feature, along with a wide variety of other subjects. If you would like to attend any of the classes, but unsure about whether the class is suitable for your skills please contact me when you receive the list. 

There will also be the chance for me to book visiting tutors, and I have a few great ideas for that too.

I am really looking forward to being able to welcome people back to my classes in 2014!

Look out for emails from me about classes and exhibitions I'll be attending. If you change your email address and would like to continue receiving emails from me, please contact me on fran.mac@btinternet.com

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards

Oxted Sugarcraft Club - Fancy Dressed Babies


Industrious...

The lovely Surrey town of Oxted was the backdrop to Frances' Fancy Dressed Baby Workshop today and the class seemed to enjoy their time making babies judging by the laughter and smiles. There were times of concentration and quiet industry, but the conversation level soon rose again as each stage was successfully completed.

This is one of Frances' cutest workshops - these babies definitely have the 'aaah' factor - and are always well received and today was no exception. Each of the students completed their models before the end of the day and we hope they learned many tricks and tips in the use of modelling paste and all the tools.

Seriously aaaah!


The book is available HERE with stage by stage photographs and a full equipment and tool list. There are also demonstrations on Frankie's YouTube Chanel HERE.
