I just always have! When I was 12 years old I used to wear a little brown felt bowler everyday, and have collected some beautiful hats over the years. I started making hats last year after attending millinery course with Lynette Lim and Georgina Conheady in Melbourne, and hope to continue to learn and develop my skills.
About Me
I live in Port Hedland Western Australia. Although remote, we have a vibrant racing season and since launching my little business "Gloria Pearl" named after my beloved pooches, on Valentines Day 2012 I have been amazed at how well it has done. I sell my hats through my facebook page and at a local crafters market. I am still learning but am excited about the endless possibilities within the art of hat making!
So pleased you have joined me in Hat Academy, Amanda. I am here to help you learn these skills online - only an email away. I lived in central Qld for years and know how you can be isolated from opportunities to learn these skills.
I launched this site 5 months ago and great to see students grasping the lessons & making a business for them selves. Start a scrap book of pics in media from this Cup season. If you are on Face book one of my students who started learning on Hat Academy in July has just launched her FB page -Bellinda Haase Millinery.
