Originally from New Zealand i have lived in London for over twenty years. I trained in millinery at The Royal College of Art and graduated in 1998. Since then i have done may things including making hats for the Paris and London Fashion Week shows ready to wear and couture and teaching at City and Islington College.
For the last two years i have been teaching privately at my studio in the Chocolate Factory N16.
The classes are small (4 - 6) and are friendly and encouraging as i am aiming to help you design and make your own creation. We work mainly in felt and straw with no end of different trimmings including feathers, ribbons, flowers and synamay.
The classes are weekends - Saturday and Sunday 10.30am - 4.30pm
You can find me on Facebook as well as at my blog (below)

Weekend Workshops:

These are based around making a hat or headwear of your own design in a friendly and creative atmosphere. You will be given an introduction and learn some of the techniques of blocking in straw and felt, wiring and trimming with feathers and fabrics. The courses are for mixed ability from total beginners to the experienced milliner or maker.
The cost of the workshop course is £110 plus the cost of materials (approx £20-£30). I will have supplies of straws and felts as well as other basic materials for you to purchase. You are also welcome to bring any other materials along.
Because numbers are limited booking a place will involve a registration deposit of £30.
