Millinery Market and Workshops

In celebration of Hat Week, and in the lead up to the Spring Racing Carnival, the Australian Racing Museum and world renowned millinery company, ‘Torb and Reiner’ have joined forces and are running a millinery market and millinery workshops for the duration of Motorola Spring Fashion Week from 3 till 9 September.

Providing city workers and perhaps the budget conscious with the opportunity to take part in these exciting and creative workshops, means you will learn the essential ‘hot tips’ for making your own hat or headpiece just in time for the 2007 Carnival and within an affordable price range.

Workshops are tailored to suit all skill and experience levels and cover topics such as Free Shaping in Sinamay, French Flower Making and Fabulous Feather Techniques Revealed.

While getting into the spirit of racing, this is the perfect opportunity for everyone to explore and enjoy the
Australian Racing Museum’s fascinating collection of racing’s history that also includes a range of millinery by Lillian Frank and Peter Jago.


The Torb and Reiner millinery market.

For those who wish to simply make a purchase or are short on time, talk to the experts and pick up some quick tips and tricks when making your own hats. They will be giving demonstrations including how to make a fascinator base from scratch. You can even make a fascinator for the races in about 20 minutes, or relax and watch a Hatty DVD. A complete range of Millinery Supplies will be available to purchase including a vibrant range of feathers, DIY kits and DVD’s. Bring in a hat and we will show you how to turn into something really special, or better yet discover it’s not so hard
to make one yourself.
