Who is this course for?

  • This is a 3 day course for those who have been studying millinery for several years and feel that they have explored most of the techniques we have previously taught.  You may now feel you want to take your millinery to the next level.  This could be you have specific questions you want addressing, you may want to explore your own style under guidance, or you may want to gleam more inspiration from our studio and being with other milliners.
