Gum paste flowers.
What a beautiful art form these are. I know at first glance the classes seem expensive but I do guarantee you will go away with full knowledge of how to make these and make them well. There will be plenty of time for individual help during the class.
This is for the beginner or intermediate gum paste flower student.
I have broken down the classes into two different ones. Each one covers totally different flowers. More class options will be added at a later time.
The cost is broken down into 5 part decisions. I have tried to make this as easy as possible for each persons goals. If you are just learning for fun you may not want to order all the equipment. If you have a business and plan to make this a part of what you offer then you would probably want to invest in the whole package.
Part one: class fees.
Each class covers 3 flowers or fillers and leaves. You will learn from start to finish each flower in a very simple step by step process. You will go home with these flowers.
Part 2: Borrowing equipment: You can choose not to purchase the equipment for this and just use my supplies. There is an additional 10.00 fee to cover petal dust, wires, floral tape etc.
Part 3: One time purchase equipment: It is suggested that you get this set. It will be useful for a very long time. It is not mandatory.
This is the basic set of equipment you will need to get you going if you have a desire to continue doing these in the future for yourself or for your own business. I have simply searched the web and gathered the best prices for items and passed it along to you at that exact cost without mark up. If you want to order your own or you already have these items then you can bring them with you to class and not pay this fee.
The cost is $105.00 for the one time set. These will be used at every class you attend in the future either with me or other instructors.
The items are: Cel pad, Cell board, Ball tool, 6 petal dust colors, 3 paint brushes, floral tape.
Part 4: Choose your class. If you don’t know exactly what the flowers are just do an image search on Google and you will see hundreds of examples. Yes they will look very much like the real thing when you are done.
Classes are limited to 6 persons. Adults only please.
Part 5: Specific equipment:
Each class has a specific set of equipment for making the flowers. Cutters and veiners are not always cheap. Do not waste your money getting low cost supplies. Eventually you will end up upgrading to the better options.
Class one:
You will learn the following flowers.
Casablanca lily, Poinsettia, Mini blossoms for fillers and Ivy leaves and trailing vines.
Class fee is $200.00-- This is 8 hours of instructions done in two evenings. Probably scheduled from 6-10 pm to make it easy to attend.
Borrowing the equipment is 10.00 more.
Purchasing the equipment for this will include the cutters and veiners for all the flowers and leaves. These are excellent quality tools. Not the plastic sets of stuff you get at the craft store.
For Class #1- it is $170.00

All classes will require payment in full 2 weeks ahead of the class.
Fees are non refundable because it would be difficult to fill your place with a late notice cancellation.
