The 5 day Summer School:

This five day intensive millinery course, taught by Jeanette will take place from at her studios in Perth. You will have the chance to make up at least two hats. Starting with your own design you will learn how to block industrial felt and straw, wire, cover and trim your hats using traditional methods, yet with a modern twist. The course is restricted to 6 students thus allowing lots of individual tuition. You can make a charming summer hat or something to wear to a wedding or special occasion. There are no barriers.
