I have been talking with Nicholas Lodge and am seriously entertaining the idea of hosting him in my shop to teach some classes.
If you would be interested please let me know by either posting under this thread or through my website. The link is below in my signature.

UPDATE!!!!
I am just in the process of booking a date in his schedule for 2009. Spring hopefully, but we will have to see how it works out with his schedule. I will let you all know when I have a permanent date set.

I am so excited!

ohhhhhh I would definately consider, depending on the cost and others interested in carpooling from Edmonton!

Great!! I will let you know the prices and details as soon as I have them all ironed out.

Oooohhh what a Koo!!! But unfortunately I don't like doing gumpaste flowers otherwise I would be there!! Great for you!!!

How great for you guys!!!!

Now, I wish I was still there!!

I'm planning a trip back, depending on when it is and how long perhaps I'll come too....

Yes, I am willing to fly to Alberta to take a class with Nicholas lodge. When you have the dates confirmed, please give me more info to register. I would like to let you know in advance I am deaf and will be needing an ASL interpreter. I will provide one but will my interpreter have to pay for the class?

If having a deaf student is an issue with the teacher, can you please let me know via pm.

I'll come from Calgary. DH can take care of the kids, I'm sure!!! Kiddiekakes, if you want a weekend away it's a good excuse!

Depending on dates I may be able to come from B.C.

I'd love to come too, depending on the dates...

We are still working out the dates but I will keep you all posted!!

Absolutely count me in!!!! I've taken one of his classes before and it is definately worth the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had an email from Nicholas today!! He is still working out his schedule for 2009. He said we should know more in about 2 to 3 weeks. We are definately leaning towards spring (mid February to April time frame.) Some where in there if it will fit into his schedule. I promise I will let you know the exact dates the very second that they are confirmed.

Is this still in the works?? Just getting out next years calender!!

Hi! I am just in Atlanta now taking Nicholas's wedding flowers course. I am talking with him now while I am here and hopefully will have answers for all of you when I return to my shop in a couple of days. I am sorry to keep you all waiting for so long.

Cool, enjoy the course!! I am off to Wilton's Master Course on Sunday for two weeks....
No problem for the delay, I just wanted to keep in touch with you!

Well - I am sorry to say that Nicholas was unable to work us into his 2009 schedule but he has assured me that he will fit us into his 2010 schedule. He hasn't even mstarted on that calender yet sooo I will let people know the exact date when I know it. I expect it to be in the early months of 2010.
I am sorry that it didn't work out for 2009.

I had a great time while I was in Atlanta taking his wedding flowers course!

Yeah!! I will be watching for that for sure
