One on one lessons are perfect as one embarks on a creative journey under the expert guidance of Katherine, to learn, explore and expand on everything about millinery.

The general outline of what is usually covered in our private lessons is as follows:

Private sessions can also be structured according to one's requirements so it would be good to know a bit about what you would like to learn. After receiving your comments Katherine will be able to suggest the bespoke programme outline.

You are free to choose the area of learning and the number of days (however if the classes are booked for a minimum of 5 days, in advance, then we offer a 10% discount on the total cost).

The private lessons are charged at £250 a day per person and are usually held from 11.30am – 5pm.
