    Learning a tiny bit about millinery was fascinating. Picking out ones own colors and learning how to manipulate the materials was very Interesting. We had an excellent teacher in Elena. Definitely recommend this experience.

    A fabulous rainy day activity. I am not the least bit creative - but with Elena's help even I produced a very cute fascinator.

    Elena is a fabulous instructor. She was able to teach a very unskilled individual to create a thing of beauty. Material, water, folding, tiny bit of glue, and steam were the only components required. Signed up to take the class a second time while I’m in London😁
