MILLINERY: TOTAL BEGINNER LEVEL
Chateau Dumas, France
Course tutor:Dillon Wallwork and full-time assistant
This seven-night beginner’s workshop with tutor, model milliner Dillon Wallwork, will introduce you to the technical skills for blocking and shaping hats as well as teaching a range of millinery stitches and decorative techniques. Your design abilities evolve and your own style emerges as you learn how to design and fit a hat correctly.
During the five days of full-time tuition you’ll become familiar with the techniques for making hats in felt, sinamay and straw. Daily demonstrations focus on individual techniques and one-to-one support is available from Dillon or his full-time assistant.
Students on this workshop immerse themselves completely in the world of hats when we visit the international hat festival, Estivales du Chapeau, which takes place locally from 12-16 July. As well as meeting milliners from all over the world, you’ll have the chance to see the entries for the hat competition and visit at least one of nearby hat factories.
This workshop is the perfect introduction to millinery and Dillon’s love of teaching makes this beginner’s both fun and instructive. You’ll find yourself both competent and confident with basic blocking, brim-wiring and trimming by the end of the week.
