We offer a range of courses on a range of millinery techniques that are suitable for beginners through to experienced practitioners.

We are delighted to now be able to offer hat making parties. Whether you are looking for fun hen party ideas, creative team building activities or just fancy an event with a twist check out what we can offer.

If you have an upcoming event and you would like to wear a hat, fascinator, tiara or other type of headdress why not have a look through Denise’s collection and purchase something ready made or contact us to make something extra special just for you.

Our creative director Denise Innes-Spencer is an engaging speaker and lecturer who is available to offer talks, master classes and lectures to a wide range of audiences.

Denise is also available to make hats for film, television and theatre. Have a look at some of Denise’s previous work in the Presenting pages.
