One-to-one workshops

I offer private millinery lessons in my Leicester Studio, working one-to-one with anyone who wants focused time to learn, improve their skills, or create a special piece.

These sessions are suitable for beginners and for those who want to expand what they already know. Please get in touch with me to talk about what you want to learn, your experience level, and your goals.

This way, I can design the class to fit you perfectly.

You can make whatever you like during your session. Just remember, what you can finish depends on your project’s complexity and your skill level. I’ll be there to help you every step of the way.

You can see some examples above. If you already have a project in mind, let me know before your session so we can discuss it together and create the ideal course for you.

HOW THE SESSIONS WORK

Private tuition takes place in the workshop area allocated in my studio, as a full-day session from 10 am to 5 pm. You will have my full attention throughout the day, allowing teaching to be focused, practical and responsive.

Sessions can be used to:

  • learn traditional millinery techniques
  • develop confidence working with specific materials
  • make a finished piece for yourself or someone else
  • Focus on a particular skill or area of interest

Teaching is adapted to suit your level, pace and goals.

Note that my space is in a shared room, so other creative businesses will be present most of the time. For more information about the studio (and my dear studio-buddies), visit the "about the studio" page.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

All basic materials required for the session are included. Any specific material request can be accommodated, but additional charges will apply.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided throughout the day.
