2018 workshops schedule release

17/2/2018

The highly anticipated schedule for the Love Lotus Millinery 2018 workshops has been released.

I have included some brand new classes such as ‘Silk and Leather Flowers’, which includes both traditional and modern methods in tinting and shaping petals, a new look ‘Floating Trims’ course, as well as some old favourites such as ‘Leather Blocking’ and my signature Metal Flower and Leaf Crowns’ class. Back by popular demand is the Wire Work class where beginners can make a tiara and more experienced students a Boater hat.

Classes at my Torquay studio are intimate, with only a maximum of 5 students per class so there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and lunch is included! I am also teaching some of these and other techniques at Louise MacDonald Milliner’s studio in the Melbourne CBD. Please contact her directly for more information regarding these particular classes.

You can view all of the classes, details and pricing via the ‘Group Workshops’ section of my website. Private classes are always available by appointment. Please contact us for more information regarding any of the workshops.

new beginnings - workshops from my studio

After much consideration, I have decided to open my own studio to millinery classes. I have been teaching at Louise Macdonald Milliner's studio in the Melbourne CBD for a number of years now, and will continue to do so, while teaching some new and exciting techniques from my home studio.

Enjoy a drive down the Victorian surf coast, about one and a half hours out of Melbourne, add a bit of millinery, and there's a fun day or two right there. Bring your significant other and stay by the beach for a well-deserved long weekend.

I will be teaching some of my signature techniques which I have not taught before such as Metal Flowers, as well as some old favourites like Leather Blocking and Trims. You will find all the details on my updated Workshops page. I will also be offering one-on-one Private Masterclasses for those who would like to learn specific techniques.

I hope you will be able to share with me in my new and exciting millinery adventure.

gravity-defying headwear!

The past week I was teaching at Louise Macdonald Milliner's studio, located in Melbourne, Australia. Louise has students from all corners of Australia, even overseas, coming to attend her week-long millinery workshops during the summer months. This week I taught leather blocking and tricks with wire as three out of five days of this week's summer school. I love the headpieces that resulted from the ladies efforts - gravity-defying leather masterpieces!

What a fun couple of days we have had at Louise Macdonald's Melbourne studio, where I have been teaching students how to make these stylish and streetwise flat caps. Students from all over Australia (and a few from overseas, too!) come to learn millinery in this relaxed environment. Will be doing it all again next week when I will be teaching leather blocking and tricks with wire.
