Millinery is the art of hat making. Australians take hats very seriously. Especially around the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which is four days of racing at the beginning of November. The biggest day is on the first Tuesday (Melbourne Cup Day) and is a holiday for most people. It's "the race that stops the nation." It's like the Kentucky Derby. I can't wait to see all the outfits!
I took a one day course with the renowned Milliner, Waltraud Reiner, of Torb and
Reiner Millinery. She is fascinating. Waltraud is from Austria and mainly studied millinery under Rose Cory, who made hats for the Queen.
Our group made all sorts of amazing concoctions. It was a great creative day.
