Hi, I’m Katherine!
I’m an award-winning millinery designer with a shop in the iconic Oxo Tower London.
I have worked with designers & artists including Jasper Gavida, Stephen Jones, The Noisetts, Lily Allen, Dita Von Teese, Jameela Jamil (to name just a few!).
I have successfully taught thousands of students all about millinery & business over the years and worked with companies such as Visa, Investec, Royal Bank of Canada to put on special millinery events in venues such as the Cliveden house, Chewton Glen, Berkley Hotel, the Rosewood Hotel.
My journey has been incredible. There have been so many ups & downs and all too often, I’ve learnt the hard way!
It was a struggle at the beginning, living back at home in Somerset & juggling a second job to pay for blocks & materials. But I was determined to make a successful business out of my passion for hats.
I started a collection & sent some photos to Harper’s, with a little letter introducing myself. And to my amazement, they actually featured my design on their shopping page!
Within a few years, I had taught myself more than I ever thought possible about millinery. I’d established myself as a designer & clients were starting to approach me. I left my job to become a full-time milliner & since then, my business and my profile has grown & grown!
So whether you’d love to learn more & indulge your passion for hats – whether it feels overwhelming to turn your hobby into a successful business, OR whether you’re established & ready to take your business to the next level…
You don’t have to work all this out on your own. You don’t have to spend thousands on training or trawl the internet for solutions & snippets of training.
The Academy is here to help you create incredible hats you adore AND turn your passion into a thriving business (if that’s what you desire!)
I absolutely adore millinery & running my own business. There is nothing I love more than seeing the artists I work with thrive & seeing you succeed in your creative business.
I can’t wait to welcome you inside!

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the Millinery & Business Academy work?
The Millinery & Business Academy is a monthly membership, a bit like Netflix – except each month you’re a member you unlock a brand new lesson. Each month has a different theme with unique tutorials and trainings that you’ll go through with the community. Once you’ve unlocked a month of content, you keep access to it, so you can revisit it whenever you like.
Are any of the workshops in-person, or are they all online?
I’m completely brand new to hat making, is this going to be too advanced for me?
I’ve already taken a Millinery course, will I be repeating things I already know?
Depending on which qualification or training you’ve already done you might find that the first lesson is a little basic for you, but don’t let that put you off!
Next we have a Sculptural 1940’s felt hat Bundle and in March we cover Royal Ascot Sculptural hats, this is very involved so you will learn a lot. Future classes include, abaca fabric, parisisal straw, trilby hats, futuristic hats, sculptural feathers, block making, and lots more…..
On the business side, we have bundles in how to run your millinery business, how to sell, bring in customers, get your business on the first page of google, how to design, use social media effectively and lots more!
If anything you’ll be spoiled for choice with all the new workshops and tutorials at your fingertips!
How many months do I need to be a member for?
I have a holiday planned, and I think I’ll miss a month - will I be able to catch up when I get back?
What is the qualification, and how do I get it?
Life is about to get busy, so I'm wondering if I should wait and join the NEXT round?
Definitely, don’t wait! Not only will you miss out on unlocking the unique content of the months you’ll also miss out on the current pricing. The next time the doors open will be sometime this year, the price will be £45/month, so if you’d like to lock in that lifetime pricing of £42/month make sure you join now!
If I want to leave the membership, is it easy to cancel?
What if I sign up and decide it’s just not for me, can I get a refund?
Take control, make your hobby your career, do something you love with the rest of your life.
Allow yourself to be a passionate woman who loves to create!
