"The course far exceeded my expectations in all catagories.

Working with Joanne and her team was a wonderful experience. The course gave me the encouragement I needed to further my business and take it to the next step. I recommend this course for anyone looking to take their business to the next level, and for anyone who is afraid of color! This is all color, all the time! "

"I expected a lot from the class, and it delivered a lot. This was well worth the time and money for me.

Joanne and Carlos are both a wealth of information and so willing to share it. It was obvious they wanted us all to go away from the class feeling like we had gained from it. Great teachers, great class. Thank you. "

- Julie, 2011 Graduate

where all our questions, queries and concerns were handled with professionalism. I feel that the class was quite comprehensive and am amazed by the amount of things I have learned."

Vancouver – This two-day, hands-on training program is focused on Mastering the Use of Color on Chocolate for six (6) students with Joanne Mogridge at Cocoa West Chocolatier, Bowen Island, B.C. Under Joanne's expert guidance, you will use professional airbrushes, equipment and techniques to decorate molded and enrobed chocolates with color.

April 15 - 16, 2013

Joanne and her husband Carlos, an artist, spent a year developing this program for us – testing a number of different cocoa butters and airbrush equipment, perfecting the techniques until they felt prepared to take students through the processes.

NOTES:

Program participants and travel companions must be 17 years of age or older. Also note that the program involves a lot of standing for long periods and walking (with bags at times) so good mobility and strength is important. Because we go into small towns, handicapped access is minimal.
