WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

The course is suitable for milliners who want to learn new techniques,  beginners who want to start out in the world of millinery and for people who would like to make headdresses for an upcoming event.

 

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

On this 2-day course you will learn how to create two exclusive headpieces with Italian mesh together with other embellishments.  We will teach you how to form and shape this versatile material using different techniques;  make different leaves and flowers whereby you can create different floral compositions,  wire crystals with different embellishments and make beautiful designs which you will learn how to assemble onto a vine or headband with silk thread.

​

On the first day of the course you will learn how to make a headpiece similar to the ones in the first, third and fifth photos,  and on the second day you will learn how to make a more complex hair vine similar to the one in the fourth photo.

By the end of the course you will have created two unique headpieces!

​

WHAT KIND OF COURSE IS IT?

This is a completely hands-on practical learning experience  which focuses on the skills used to design these jewel headdresses.
