I have a few workshops that are in the pipe line that I wanted to bring to your attention.
The next one I am hosting is a Christmas themed baking/photography workshop that is being held in London with the super talented lucy Parissi from Supergolden bakes. She’s an expert at photoshop so I can’t wait to learn from her. Things are going to be really festive and we will decorate and style a layer cake together that you can recreate at home and we will bake some yummy gingerbread together. Lucy will show us how to make a stop motion which Is going to be really exciting as they are really popular on Instagram. All in all it’s going to be a fun intimate workshop that will get you in the mood For Christmas. Spaces are quite limited so be sure to register your interest soon by emailing Lucy on lucy@lucyparissi.co.uk
The other workshop I have planned is in daylesford in Australia in may with Anisa Sabet from the macadames this is a three day retreat that’s going to be held over the weekend. It’s going to be so much fun. I haven’t been to Australia before so I’m really excited
