Sophie Hansen in Goondiwindi

Sophie's coming to town!

I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome the creative and generous Sophie Hansen to Goondiwindi.

In an age old story that is very familiar to lots of us here in Goondiwindi, Sophie was born and raised in Sydney, but moved to live with her husband on their farm outside Orange in country NSW.

With over 20 years’ experience as a features writer, Sophie’s the accomplished author and photographer of five cookbooks: Local is Lovely, A Basket by the Door, In Good Company, Around the Kitchen Table and launching now, What can I bring?

The queen of collaboration. She is the co-host of a podcast about reading and eating, Something to Eat and Something to Read; ambassador for the Dedicate rural fitness platform; Pink Pelican tour guide (in Italy!!); Irving & Powell tastemaker; team member at Marketing Directive remote digital marketing agency; and host of some really valuable social media and smart phone photography workshops.

We are going to absolutely make the most of Sophie’s visit and are hosting three events.

1. Smartphone Photography and Reels Workshop
2. Bizz Fizz Supper Club with Sophie Hansen
3. What can I bring? Harry & Kit Book Launch

Come to one, or come to them all.

Smartphone Photography and Reels Workshop

Friday 17th May 2024 @ 1:30pm

Join us for a hands-on, inspiring, fun and practical workshop for creatives, small business owners, makers and artists who want to create beautiful images.

In this half day, practical workshop Sophie will cover:

📷 How to get the most out of your smartphone camera - let's have a play!

📷 Framing, composition and working with light to make your photos and videos POP (as ’they’ say)

📷 How to put yourself in your photos and videos so you can connect with your community in a way you are comfortable with!

📷 Editing and compiling reels

📷 LOTS of ideas and inspiration for telling engaging stories that will move the needle for your business and brand

📷 And as many tips, tricks and Insta hacks as we can fit in

Who’s it for?
Those who are new to styling and photography or are looking to improve their phone photography and social media skills. If you're looking to build your confidence to get started, or you’re stuck in a creative rut and need help to take your images to the next level, then this is the workshop for you.

You don't need to run a business to attend, however, for those of you in business, it will help you to produce brilliant content for your marketing & social media accounts.

The afternoon will finish with a Q&A session, grazing platter and bubbles (it is Friday arvo after all!)

What can I bring? Harry & Kit Book Launch

Join us at Harry & Kit for a Sophie Hansen recipes inspired morning tea to celebrate the release of her new book What Can I Bring? an easy and delicious guide to what to bring along to any occasion.

Drawing inspiration from some of her favourite country cooks, friends, family and bring-a-plate traditions, the common thread of all Sophie Hansen's recipes and gatherings is the community and kindness that binds us. These recipes and ideas will help glue together your own special gatherings.

We will have a Q&A with Sophie, who is happy to answer questions and be on hand to sign copies of the book.
