  • This was a totally enjoyable experience. Tierre Taylor is an excellent instructor. It was a fun day in every way...and I made a beautiful cloche.
  • Creating Fascinators

    I got the opportunity to work on fascinator with Lisa on a short course. She giving me the opportunity to learn so quickly the basis of fascinator construction with mesh fabric. Lisa is good on listening your own style or desire which is a good point to get a hat that looks like you and nobody else. She also gave me good addresses for hat suppliers . I recommend warmly anybody who wants to dive into a first experience of hat making. It was a blast !
  • A really interesting class and fun to walk away with a wearable summer hat
  • Amazing all-round!!! Julia Knox is the best!!!!!!!!
  • Lot of fun - creative experience, excellent teacher, personal attention given to each student. Will,do it again.
  • This class was everything I'd hoped it would be! Looking forward to more classes.
  • Fascinator Workshop

    The class was great! The instructor walked us through the steps while allowing us to be creative.! Nice claas. I can’t wait to do take another class.
  • Enjoyed this course very much. It gave me enough insight whether to pursue more in the craft on a professional level.
  • Wonderful class. I really had a lot of fun and the instructor provided practical easy to remember ways to take what I learned in class and repeat it on my own at home. Looking forward to taking her additional classes.
  • Sinamay Masterclass with Bridget Bailey

    I love this shop! Not only do I own numerous hats from here, but I have also attended many workshops on millinery construction that have been so helpful in my work as a costume designer. The workshops are small so the individual attention is great! Some are taught by the talented shop owner, Julia Knox, and some are taught by guest milliners from all over the world. If you get a chance to attend the workshops, you won't be disappointed! It will also make you appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a custom hat versus the price.
  • Sinamay Masterclass with Bridget Bailey

    Sometimes a lady is in need of a hat. And this classic millinery shop located in the heart of the East Village is my go to spot when I in fact do need a hat!-- I always feel like I've stepped into a different century when I go to visit. And I feel like more than a lady when I place her unique master pieces on my little head.
  • The instructor and the course was awesome! I learned a lot and I intend to take another course asap!
  • Fascinator Workshop

    The class was so much fun! I didn't come in with a specific idea and Julia helped me come up with a fabulous design. There are so many great trims and supplies to choose from! She even stayed late to help us all finish our fascinators. We all left with a really great piece and everyone's was so unique. I hope to take more classes here soon.
  • Floral Sinamay Workshop

    My only regret is that there wasn't enough time!
  • Draping in Felt

    I wanted a fun NYC activity to share with my visiting mom, and Julia's draping class was it! We left wearing two beautiful, professional-looking hats, and we gained great insight into what goes into the craft itself. The class size is small, and everyone receives personalized attention, so don't worry if you have trouble with a technique or need a second opinion. Julia is so helpful and shares her best tips and millinery knowledge with everyone. The class is set up around a single table for easy communication with your fellow participants as well, so you might even meet another hat-loving friend in this two day workshop. Highly recommended!
  • Draping in Felt

    I planned a trip to NYC to take this class, and I'm so glad I did! Julia enthusiastically (and patiently!) shared her knowledge and expertise. It was so much fun to see the different creations participants came up with using the same materials and instructions--every hat was truly custom. I left the workshop with two cute hats and the inspiration, skills and information I need to make more.
  • Draping in Felt

    The class was so much fun, incredibly informative and a wonderful networking opportunity! I love the hats I made and think it was worth every dime! You receive so much personal attention while working on your project. I already signed up for a second class of draping in felt!!!
  • Fascinator Workshop

    This class was incredible! Julia went above and beyond to make sure that all of the students walked out of the class with a beautiful fascinator tailored to their individual tastes. In fact, she stayed nearly an hour late to help put the finishing touches on the fascinators so they looked professional. Definitely check out the store website for additional class listings and news.
  • This class was great for getting started in Millinery, it would have been better if it was for 3 days as we didn't get to finish our hats in the 2 lessons. Our teacher was knowledgable and was helpful with our designs. I would probably enrol to study this further next year.
  • It's my second course in millinery and I can't get enough. Nora Navarro was wonderful.
  • It was amazingly good with a very knowledgeable teacher. I enjoyed every moment!
  • I had so much fun! The instructor gave a lot of great information. I love my hat. I hope more hat classes are offered in the future.
  • This was my first-ever millinery class, and it was an excellent experience. Louis is a great teacher and I hope to take additional millinery courses with him in the future.
  • Holly is a great teacher for workshops. She has a nice intimate space that helps her guide students one on one and she has a studio that's very well stocked for students. I've taken multiple classes with her and even though I already know a lot about millinery, it's a great environment to practice in and well worth the price. The only negative I'd have to say is that she toots her own horn a lot, but in this business you have to market yourself at any moment. If you have friends looking for bridal pieces or just want a cute headpiece to compliment your wardrobe, don't hesitate to visit Artikal or take one of Holly's group classes!
  • It was fun. I got to work with velour for the first time. The teacher was very friendly and has some amazing hats. I'm sure the velour class and feather fascinator class is also interesting
  • Loved it. The professor was a professional, animated, organized and sincerely happy to be teaching her craft. Also loved that I was taking the class at FIT campus. Want to take another class that teaches how to make a brimed hat. Hopefully they will add another one this summer. Can't wait! Thanks Coursehourse!
  • Great class! My second with this instructor. She is a wealth of information. The class was great and I love my fall hat!
  • Holly was a great teacher! She let students do most of their own work so we'd learn how the process worked and helped us when necessary. She explained everything completely and gave us good tips. I made a great hat that I got complemented on 30 minutes after I was done with the class! I'd highly encourage anyone to take a class with her.
  • Very entertaining and interesting course!! I loved it!!
