Change to Jane Stoddart Workshops

Changes have been made to Jane Stoddart's workshops for the forum for 2012. The changes are:

Stiffened Lace Hats

Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced (6 hours)

Revisit the stiffened guipure or venise lace hats of the 50’s and 60’s in a contemporary mood! We’ll block and stiffen heavy guipure lace on hat blocks and improvised moulds. This technique lends itself to wonderful cocktails, trims, masks and full hats.


Vintage Inspired Feather Birds

Skill Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced (3 hours)

Milliners and couturiers of the past have loved to use feather bird trims, created by carefully piecing together a variety of cut feathers, beads and wire. These vintage trims are increasingly rare and fragile, so we’ll make our own contemporary styles!
