March! That means Summer is officially over (not that we really had one) and Autumn is here! YAY…my favourite time of the year these days.

I had been looking for something fun to do with some friends and students for an end of the year get together, a change from the usual Sunday brunch and champagne or a ‘play-date’ in the studio. Something fun and inclusive of photographers and non-photographers alike. I came across this European Christmas Cookie class by…
