SPECIAL OFFER just for CRAFTSY STUDENTS!
I will be teaching two hands on master classes here in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. February 1-3 & 4-6 2013.
I say "master class" not necessarily because of skill level (all skill levels are welcome!)- but more so because it's a rare opportunity to spend 3 days - in an intimate, personalized, hands on environment that will truly allow you to take your skills to the next level. It is truly going to be an extraordinary experience and I am so looking forward to working with people who are as dedicated and passionate about the art of sugar craft as I am!
There are just a few spots left!
Please let me know if you have any questions I may answer for you about the classes- and for specific information about the two classes please click here:
Wedding Cakes... Design to Delivery!
Mention "Craftsy" and you'll receive a special enrollment bonus! And if you register for BOTH classes you will also recieve a $200 credit towards any of Marina's Molds!
xoxo, Marina
