A Personal Learning Experience
Small group sizes ensure every student receives individual attention, guidance, and encouragement. Whether you are discovering millinery for the first time or developing existing skills, Nessa’s teaching style is patient, supportive, and rooted in years of professional experience.
These workshops are as much about enjoying the process as they are about mastering technique.
