Join award-winning sculptor Kerry Samantha Boyes for a hands-on creative workshop exploring the art of sculpted faux food. Learn casting, painting, and finishing techniques at the UK’s only dedicated faux food studio and store.
Step into the artist town of Kirkcudbright and join us for a truly unique two-day creative workshop at the UK’s only dedicated faux food studio and store. Taught by award-winning sculptor Kerry Samantha Boyes, you’ll learn sculptural techniques used to create lifelike food replicas commissioned for museums, historic venues, and film productions around the world. In small, supportive groups, participants will sculpt, cast, and paint a selection of faux patisserie or breakfast items — from éclairs and fruit tarts to sausages and eggs. You’ll work with Jesmonite, wax, and professional finishing techniques to produce your own display-ready plate.
Workshops are beginner-friendly and open to adults only. All materials, tools, and tuition included. Finished pieces are dried and posted to each participant after the course.
