I live in the one of the major hat-making centres in France and people from all over the world come to our millinery workshops at Chateau Dumas near Toulouse
About Me
I am a creative person and love all things to do with textiles. I organise around 14 weeks a year of residential creative workshops at Chateau Dumas including 4-6 weeks of millinery, block-printing, dyeing, beading and themed weeks.
So special you have joined me in HatAcademy, Lizzie. Your resident classes are talked about here in Australia. I think one of members here from Darwin attended last year. On her return she purchased a steamer from me.
The experience of teaching those who are isolated in outback Australia & who would never travel to Melbourne or Sydney to learn has been very exciting plus others who live in places like Nigeria & Jamaica. Like yourselves I am constantly learning & experimenting even as I slow down manufacture. I have more lessons to film but preparation takes so much time.

Best Wishes for 2013
