Arts and Crafts Experience Days: Design and create a unique and beautiful headpiece during this
full day millinery class in London.
Working under the expert
guidance of award-winning London Milliner and couture designer,
Katherine Elizabeth, you will learn how to block, edge and wire
your very own head piece.
With a maximum of two students per
course, you will enjoy plenty of attention and instruction!
Over 7 hours you will be given an intense introduction to the world
of the millinery, trying your hand at the delicate art for
yourself, and making a fantastic headpiece to take home with
you!
You can decorate and trim your head piece with fabrics, feathers
and beads to reflect your taste and personality.
You will be helped
throughout by the expert milliner, who will help you with all
aspects of the headpiece - and at the end of your day you will have
a beautiful creation that you can wear again and again.

and when
you are complimented on the piece, you get to say "Oh this? I made
it myself".
The Millinery masterclass begins at 10am, with an introduction to
the London studio, a briefing and a bit of theory, explaining a
little bit about the historical development of millinery
techniques.
This should take about half an hour, after which you
will move on to blocking (shaping and stretching your headpiece),
wiring (giving shape and definition to the headpiece), and
edging.
You will then break for lunch at 1:30pm.
You will then have until
5pm for trimming and finishing, using stunning silks and feathers
to really make your creations your own.
At the end of the day you
will have a stunning and unique headpiece to take home with you,
fitting for those special occasions.
