Waltraud Reiner has been travelling since 2001 around Australia and worldwide, teaching all techniques people want to learn. Her workshops are geared towards the need of the participating person rather than a fixed technique. Waltraud believes Hats are the art of the heart. She has been an advocate for emotional and mental well-being for many years and she uses hat making and weaving to support people to connect to themselves and others.

Waltraud started out in Melbourne in the early 90’s where she founded the Melbourne School of Millinery which she ran for many years. She was part of developing the national millinery millinery certificate 1-4 qualification . In 2001 she founded Torb and Reiner which sold to the current owner Lindsay Whitehead /Millinery Hub.

Waltraud holds a Master in Gestalt Psychotherapy and mainly teaches now from her studio in Melbourne and on Zoom. You can find her on Instagram and Facebook
