This is a creative millinery workshop, where learners are encouraged to get experimental and use their existing traditional millinery knowledge as a springboard to create new techniques with innovative materials. The learners themselves will be steering this process, and the tutor will be there to guide individual projects while learners are also encouraged to help each other to figure out solutions to problems. This is best suited for people with some millinery experience.

In addition to our weekend hat making courses this programme gives a more in depth understanding of the techniques used to produce stylish and contemporary hats. Each term will focus on different materials and methods: Felt in the autumn, Straw, Sinamay and woven materials in spring, and in summer, the development of patterns for both soft and structured hats will be in focus. Each course will cover a range of techniques to enable you to produce modern hats with a professional finish.
