My name is Kay, I have been
in the Millinery business almost twenty years. My first line of hats consisted of simple bridal frames purchased from millinery
houses and trimmed (decorated and covered).
After being in the business a short time I realized there was a market for custom made and everyday hats, but I
needed formal training in order to be competetive.
I later found that finding millinery classes in Los Angeles area was not an easy task. The Millinery Art I wanted so desperately to learn was one of the best kept secrets
because very few instructors wanted to share what they knew.
Determined
to find someone on the West Coast to teach me the art, I began my search, eventually finding one of the top Milliney
Designers in this country....right here...in California.
She shared the Art of Millinery with me and a number of others before passing on, and over the years I learned to perfect
that art. I now sell my designs as well as teach others
who wish to learn the art.
My millinery classes are taught in locations
throughout the South Bay area of Los Angeles. The classes consists of basic covering, frame making, and blocking. I also
teach advanced covering, leather blocking and draping.
Below is a listing of community
colleges and centers where I teach evening and afternoons. For more information about the new weekend workshops please e-mail

THANKS FOR VISITING AND I'LL SEE YOU IN CLASS!!!
