Five Day Millinery Courses 2009

There are only six places on each of the courses and the content is tailored to fit individual requirements and expertise.

Millinery is a vast subject and I offer a gradual introduction for complete novices or introduce and develop new skills for those with some knowledge.

The cost of the 5 day course is £200, 10am to 3pm daily.

Please note that we also hold daily millinery classes every week, Thursday, Friday and Saturdays, from 10am to 3pm, except in the weeks when we are running a course .
