What's new for 2010 AND 2011!

Seattle workshop dates are now posted and registration is underway. The classes will be held in the Belltown area of Seattle, the venue will be advised as soon as possible. The dates are 17th, 18th, 19th, 21st and 22nd September. You can book now at

Watch out Australia.....here I come! Now working out dates to offer workshops in 2011. Once I have more information I will surely let you know.

I will be returning to New York...well New Jersey really...in November 2010. You can book directly from my website for the classes and also hopefully take advantage of the group booking rate offered by the hotel who are hosting them. All you need to do is mention "Lorraine McKay Workshops" when you make your reservation.

My Online Tutorials continue to be a great success. I am often asked about writing a book and I do consider it along with all the options on how to go about it. My problem is that I wouldn't have all of the control over a book unless I published it myself, and even then, the projects would not be in such great detail which is why my Online Tutorials are so popular in the first place. I like the fact that I am known for this method of teaching and it's popularity. I will continue to create my tutorials until the world tires of them. A book might be a consideration later down the line...but just not yet. There will be at least two more tutorials available before the end of 2010...the subjects? We'll see! More projects are in the planning stages so please be patient with me. I need to prioritise my time to get the best things done and with all the travelling around to show you in person how to be creative with sugar, time is something I just don't have in abundance. However, I am working on it!

Comments

  1. I may not have any Scottish dates available for 2011, it all depends on the final confirmation of all the workshops I've booked in other areas....I don't think I have much time left! Oops! However, I am in the midst of planning the London classes for next year and there are two online for booking at the moment. The others will follow shortly, I need to create the class subject for April before I can headline the others. So hopefully see you in one of them! Cheers!

  2. Lorraine, I'm too slow to book in any of your Scottish or London courses! Everytime I find a new one, its already book! Boohoo to me...

    Do you have any more Scottish tutorials soon? If so, when are you uploading the info? I live in Montrose, so not long to travel. I wouldnt mind travelling to London for one of your classes as well, but alas, you said thats all for 2010. Oh well, I need to be quick for 2011!

    Hope you have some good news for good old me soon. Thanks a lot!

    Grace

    p.s. I just bought 3 of your online tutorials a minute ago - cant wait to get hold of the instructions!

  5. Arlene...I don't have the time available to commit to wedding cakes any more. I am travelling so much next year that it would be impossible. I took the decision to concentrate on the workshops and writing as doing both was too demanding. Sorry. :o(

  19. I do have a Bride and Groom on my "to do" list and will be working on all new projects at the end of this year. I have other things planned too but will wait until I can afford the proper time to get working on them before I go shouting my mouth off! I keep setting deadlines that I can't meet so best to hold my tongue til I get through all the commitments for 2009.

  22. I'm very interested in your class in August in Seattle area. Can you please let me know how much it will cost me and on which days it will be happening??? I can't wait to meet you and learn your awesome work. Thank you so much!!!

    (Posted on 2009-09-19 16:29:00 by Natalia)

  23. Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! I love it!!!!!!!! I'll keep checking then. BTW, ICES convention this coming year is going to be in San Diego and it happens at the beginning of August. I believe that many people from the Seattle area will be going so maybe mid-August might work best (especially for me..hahaha..since I'll start working at the end of August..hahaha).

  24. YES!! I am definitely going to be in Seattle. The dates haven't been confirmed yet but will be very soon. I'll have them posted straight away when I know what classes I am teaching and when the best time would be to visit. I'll add a waiting list on my blog at www.extra-icing.blogspot.com for those who want to be included in the early registration!
