TEACHING

I teach Millinery at London College of Fashion, The Arts Institute at Bournemouth and privately in my Dorset Studio at different levels and in various areas of Millinery.
My wide experience of teaching includes Fashion and Theatrical Millinery at Kensington & Chelsea College and Central St Martins. As well as teaching Millinery on projects in
conjunction with the Barbican, London College of Fashion and other London and national Museums.  

I have a friendly approach to teaching and like my students to explore their creativity under my guidance
to learn and develop new skills. I will teach you tricks of the trade and show you the skills and techniques I have acquired through my practice.

I offer one to one intensive workshops or small group workshops in Millinery at my studio.
Groups are kept small so as to give everyone the individual attention they need. One to one workshops are tailored around your needs and experience.

Next scheduled course will be a summer school at The Arts University at Bournemouth (AUB).

TEACHING TESTIMONIALS
 

"We hosted a group of 12 for a Ladies Corporate Entertainment Day. We had a fantastic time on the Fascinator course with Chloe, a patient and inspiring teacher. She catered well to all levels of ability and artistic skills.
All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the day, especially that they had a hand-made creation
to take home. It was very social and a great opportunity to see a different side to our clients, away from the usual office or meeting atmosphere! We received a plethora of enthusiastic thank you letters the next day.
A truly unique and very special Corporate event, I can't recommend it enough."

'“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Chloe for 6 days.  I learned the skills to stiffen, steam, block, wire & trim both felt and straw. 

Each lesson was 1:1 so I had access to all of Chloe’s extensive knowledge and skills.  There was never a dull moment as Chloe was so friendly, welcoming and it felt like I’d known her for years.   Techniques and steps were clearly explained so that I could follow along easily.  The best thing is that having started with zero sewing skills, I learned so much from Chloe that I have been able to make more hats by myself, without any guidance…and I’m even starting to experiment.  I have absolutely fallen in love with Millinery!”
