Some of you may have already learnt the pillbox technique with me at the Ballarat Millinery Convention. If so, I’ll have more advanced techniques and design possibilities for you to explore. If you haven’t done the pillbox workshop before, you’ll be able to learn the foundation techniques during our two days together.  (Monday and Tuesday).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout the week, our emphasis will be on learning and mastering techniques rather than necessarily completing a finished hat in every session. You may go home with a couple of partially completed pieces, but with a much better understanding of how to use the techniques confidently in your own work. Most importantly, we want to encourage you to experiment and develop your own designs, rather than simply reproducing a sample.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDates\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003eMonday 23 November to Friday 27 April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e, 10am to 4pm each day\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation \/ venue\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 Swanston Street (corner of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane), Melbourne (view location on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com.au\/maps?q=37+Swanston+Street,+Melbourne,+VIC,+3000\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;sll=-37.816667,144.966994\u0026amp;sspn=0.012103,0.016544\u0026amp;oq=37+Swanston%2BStreet%2BMelbourne%2BVIC%2B3000\u0026amp;hnear=37+Swanston+St,+Melbourne+Victoria+3000\u0026amp;t=m\u0026amp;z=16\" title=\"location of Louise Macdonald Milliner's Melbourne studio on Google Maps; this link opens a new window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGoogle Maps\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCost\u003c\/strong\u003e: $1200\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaiting list\u003c\/strong\u003e: If this course is sold out, join our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/millinery.com.au\/learn-millinery-waiting-list.html\" title=\"Louise Macdonald Milliner - Learn millinery - Waiting list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003ewaiting list\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Louise Macdonald Milliner - Learn millinery - Terms and Conditions; this link opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/millinery.com.au\/learn-millinery.html#refund-and-cancellation-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eTerms and Conditions\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/millinery.com.au\/learn-millinery.html#refund-and-cancellation-policy\" title=\"Louise Macdonald Milliner - Learn millinery - Cancellation and Refund Policy; this link opens in a new tab or window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eCancellation and Refund Policy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Louise Macdonald Milliner - Privacy Policy; this link opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/millinery.com.au\/terms-conditions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003ePrivacy Policy\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnquiries\u003c\/strong\u003e: For more information,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Louise Macdonald Milliner's contact details; this link opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/millinery.com.au\/contact-details.html\"\u003e\u003cu\u003econtact Louise Macdonald\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Face-to-face course","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48012627476657,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/6620\/7409\/files\/designer-hat-melbourne-australia-melon-pillbox2.jpg?v=1788947762","url":"https:\/\/learnmillinery.com\/products\/intermediate-millinery-intensive-2026","provider":"Learnmillinery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
