Karen Davies Masterclass – Basketweave Toy Box and Knitted Teddy

We are so pleased and excited to welcome Karen Davies owner of Karen Davies Sugarcraft to our studio, Karen will be visiting us for a full day of fun bringing with her a variety of her moulds. During the day, Karen will be teaching us how to use her moulds and the opportunity to work with her beautiful smooth and delicious sugar paste, ideal for both colouring, covering and moulding. You will be covering a 4″ square dummy to produce an open toybox using either the Basket weave or Rustic mould – which you will get to keep and take home after the class. We will be using a variety of Karen’s moulds including buttons, bows, plaited borders, Lottie lace, knitted pieces, crochet and cable knit to execute a cuddly knitted teddy bear and lots of adorning embellishments. If your struggling with using moulds this class is for you – an ideal opportunity to learn from one of the top manufacturers and designers – one of the best products on the market. Please note: the photograph used is not what we will be producing only an example of Karen’s work and the effect were hoping for. Great for the beginner cake decorator, or if you are looking to refine your skills.

• How to make a sitting knitted effect model
