Such beautiful work by my Sugar Rose Artistry stud Such beautiful work by my Sugar Rose Artistry student Chantell!

Sugar Rose Artistry is designed so that once you have learnt all the foundations of sugar rose making and petal dusting, you complete 5 sugar rose petal dusting projects to practice and consolidate all your skills. So that by the end of the course you will have mastered colouring and dusting techniques and created you own unique style. 

Then moving forward you can apply the techniques you have learnt to create any variation of sugar rose. It was so lovely to see my student Chantell, share a picture of a new variety of rose that she had created today, using all the techniques she had learnt in the course! The possibilities really are endless once you have mastered the foundations!

Enrolment for Sugar Rose Artistry closes on Sunday 31st January. (In 2 days!!!) You can send me a message for more details if you’d like to join us.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work Chantell!
