I have just completed a four day millinery workshop with Master Milliner - Neil Grigg. Neil is from Sydney and travelled to Rockhampton in Queensland to conduct this workshop.
 |
| Just a shed in the backyard but what amazing and creative things came out of this shed over the last four days. |
The wonderful thing about Neil's workshop is that you make what you want. There were 8 in the class and we each made at least 3 pieces in the four days. Each piece so different but all absolutely amazing. Here are some photos.

 |
| Check out the studs that just really mix up this piece . |
 |
| This colour is just amazing - it is a velour felt. |
 |
| There was even an opportunity to make bridal headpieces |
 |
| Black and white is always such a classic - a luscious red silk dupioni bow is the best way to complete this. |
 |
| What a charming little cocktail hat. |
 |
| Silk Abaca - such a wonderful colourful and just wonderful to manipulate into sculptural pieces. |
