This two-hour demonstration is designed to make you fall back in love with crinoline. Demonstration leader, Denise Innes-Spencer, has had a fraught relationship with this fabric in the past but, after working closely with designers who love this fabric, she has learned to love it too. This course shares the love for crin by teaching new ways of working and using a historic fabric to make cutting-edge designs.
This demonstration is for improvers with an understanding of millinery terms. Not suitable for beginners.
