Summer school at the Atelier

Regular price $2,250.00 Sale

This is the summer school for those that want to truly dive into textures, textiles and the creative scuptural landscape of millinery through the eyes of Jill.

Not only are we discovering wired freeform block making, couture feather cutting, mini toolbox skills, wired frame creation, filigree florals, bugs and floral beadwork and fabric rose covered button. But we have also gained exclusive access to the NGV millinery/textile archives for an afternoon outing.  Jill will talk through some of the techniques used and we can see up close and personal some of the incredible archival pieces such as master milliner Stephen Jones spool of thread hat. 

And if thats not enough, if you are a fast mover and stitcher  will have access to Jill’s hat block library - where you can feel free to block a shape you have always wanted to have a go at. 

Materials are provided for most of the subjects but there will be a tool kit requirement and a few specific items that you will need.  This will be provided after registration . 

Monday 9.30 - 4.30 (45min lunch break)

Tuesday 9.30 - 5 (45min lunch break)

Wednesday 9.30 - 1 then make way into city for NGV Archives tour  

Thursday 9.30 - 5 (45min lunch break)

Friday 9.30 - 2 (additional time if required to finish work) then a well deserved sip and relax for a few hours at a local yummy destination for those that want to stay around for chats  

 

There is plenty on offer - but limited spaces. Make this your Christmas present to yourself. Or do what I do. Buy it and label it from the family to yourself - at least you know you want it x J
