Sharing the craft of hat making
Sharing the craft of hat making is at the heart of Mill House Millinery.
Through handmade hats, workshops, repairs, retrims, talks and demonstrations, Mill House Millinery helps to keep millinery heritage alive.
About Susan
As a child, I had always loved dressing up in my gran’s hats. My passion for making them started in 2009, at a taster Day at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Since then, I have taken many courses with professional milliners, and in 2019 decided to have a complete career change. I hung up my IT auditing hat, and became a full-time milliner.
