The Millinery Meetup is returning to the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts campus (Gatlinburg TN) on September 21-26, 2024

Millinery Meet Up began as a true ‘meet-up.’ A meet-up of millinery students and millinery instructors in 2014. Founded by Jan Wutkowski and Diane Shaggott, “MMU,” is North America’s foremost millinery educational and social event.

During 5 days on the campus of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, students, suppliers, and instructors can mingle together, share stories, and experiences, and build friendships that span across the continents.

This year includes a variety of courses taught by Jane Taylor, Edwina Ibbotson, Biliana Borissova, Phillip Rhodes, Laura Del Villaggio and Mela Hoyt-Heydon.

Organizers Andrea Blohm and Patrycja Grzesznik said, “5-days away from your everyday life is a generous gift to yourself that keeps on giving. You will find yourself rejuvenated and reinvigorated, brimming with new ideas, new designs flowing and… waiting for the next MMU.”
