Due to the success of our millinery workshop programme this past autumn, Beverley has decided to run another series of classes and workshops in the New Year.
The courses and classes are aimed at all skill levels, you don’t need to have any previous millinery experience, as long as you can thread a needle you will get along just fine! But Beverley will also cater for those who do have some previous knowledge.
I can’t think of a better Christmas present to buy someone crafty or fashion conscious and what a fabulous way to spend those long winter evenings!
To see how we got on and some testimonials from our previous classes, please follow this link:

All classes will be held at our Farnham town centre Studio, address and directions will be emailed along with your booking confirmation. We run with small classes to ensure that everyone gets the personal attention that they need.
We are pleased to offer the following workshops:
Flower Making
Sinamay Techniques and Trimmings
