Create Fabric and Sinamay Flowers
Class Description
Join experienced milliner Ulka for a relaxed and creative 2 hour evening workshop, where you’ll learn to make two beautiful handmade flowers using traditional millinery techniques. First, you’ll create a three-tiered rose using your own scrap fabrics (or choose from a selection provided). This is a lovely way to give new life to leftover materials while learning how to shape these roses by hand. You’ll then be introduced to sinamay (a natural woven material widely used in millinery) and guided step-by-step to create an elegant calla lily, learning how to form and sculpt this versatile fabric using traditional techniques. Your finished flowers can be used to adorn a hat, made into a brooch, or attached to a bag - a beautiful, wearable result from your evening of creativity. All materials are provided, but you’re very welcome to bring your own fabric scraps for a more personal touch. Tea and coffee are included, so you can relax, chat, and enjoy a mindful creative evening. Tickets are limited, so get booked on today.
