Fascinator Parties
The perfect pre Ascot or hen party activity!
Create yourselves a hair piece or fascinator for the event of the year. Using the selection of feathers, veiling, flowers, and beads create a unique item whilst enjoying a glass of wine or bubbly. At the end of the evening take it home and wear it on the day. The ability to sew beautifully isn’t essential, just the desire to have a go!
Suitable for groups of 3 to 15 people, either in your home or my studio. Prices start from £50 per person, contact me directly to book
Unless otherwise stated, courses will take place at my studio. Filwood House, Fishponds, BS16 3RY
