paperboard for Eugenie's block workshop

A few people have had difficulty sourcing the required paperboard for Eugenie's 'Patter-based Brim Block' workshop. DON'T PANIC...Waltraud of Torb and Reiner will source this for all students and bring it to the Trade Day on Sunday. If it will ease your mind please do not hesitate to contact Waltraud for pre-orders.

New Seminars

There have been a couple of changes to the seminar line up. Waltraud Reiner will be presenting a seminar on the Business of Millinery, discussing customer service, pricing of hats, placing yourself in the market and the differences between model millinery, semi model and manufacturing. This will be an extremely valuable seminar for anyone taking their millinery hobby to the next level.
In addition i am also pleased to announce that Jaycow will be doing her seminar on Wednesday evening,rather than Sunday. This will make it a more intimate seminar and allow for more interaction and sharing of ideas.
Unfortunately Ian Bennett is unable to present a seminar, however he will be discussing the UK trends at the Trade Expo.
Remember, gold delegates have the seminar ticket included in their fee, however all others will need to pre book and purchase a ticket by contacting the IMF office on 0439 192 193.

Fantastic new seminar at forum

I am extremely excited to announce that QLD milliner Ann-Maree Willett will be presenting a seminar on her millinery experiences in Europe.
Ann-Maree's seminar would be around "Bridging the Gap for Milliners", from training into a work place, business or industry and sharing her experiences around The Churchill Fellowship, showing in Europe and working with Borsalino in Italy. One of the very exciting outcomes for Ann-Maree from this last trip has been an invitation from the Borsalino Foundation to show in The Borsalino Museum in 2009.

Ann-Maree will be announcing a fantastic opportunity linked to this invitation - not to be missed!!!!
Ann-Maree's seminar will be on Monday evening at 8pm.
