BEHIND THE SCENES - See what I’ve packed into my mini boater workshop kits.

Every workshop starts long before the students arrive. I like to make sure everyone has their materials organised and ready to go - it gives us more time for creating and engaging in the skills.

Want to learn how to make a boater yourself? The DIY template + step-by-step PDF will be available soon. And YES you can enlarge it to make a full size hat 😜🩷🎀🩷

“Back to teaching…” but not in a Primary School 😜

I’ll be working with a group of high school students exploring the art of millinery — a craft I hope continues to stay alive and inspire the next generation.

The detailed notes and templates from the workshop will also be available soon as a downloadable PDF, so YOU TOO can learn the same techniques wherever you are.

There’s something incredibly special about sharing my interpretation of a craft that has been around for generations. Traditional millinery is a unique blend of creativity, design and craftsmanship, and I hope this workshop and PDF tutorial inspires new ‘creatives’ to discover a passion they never knew they had.

Me: let’s make an ink-blot, coral looking flower thing for your hat… Milano: Ok….
I’m so thankful for your trust in this creation and the way you are willing to let me explore and create (including the fails, disasters and wobbly video updates 😆)
🖤💛🤍 This outfit ticks ALL the boxes - good luck in the Digital Fashions Competition Cluden Park 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yes I can make it in a different colour, but no two headpieces will ever be exactly the same!!! This hat hit a few snags along the way but the blue tones and green combo worked out perfectly 💚🩵 I think I might like it better than the original 🤪 what about you????
