Course details

 SPARTERIE
THE COUTURE SECRET FOR A FLAWLESS FOUNDATION

with  Model Milliner Dillon Wallwork

Learn to handle, block and manipulate this fabric  to achieve hats of Haute Couture standard.
 
Sparterie, also known as Willow or Esparterie is the traditional couture foundation used in millinery.
Up until recently it was thought to have been a very rare comodity and virtually "extinct", with only a few Model Milliners in the world still processing the knowledge of how to work this wonderful foundation material.
Now available once more, under Dillon Wallorks guidance you can discover how to sculpt and mould it to create hats with a crisp and polished look.
Students will be taught the processes of how to
  • block sparterie by hand and on a block
  • polish
  • iron it and stitch it to create a light but firm foundation.
  • Learn how to achieve a "skin join" to create a strong, faultless smooth seam.
  • To extend forms and re-inforce shapes to make your own blocks too.
  • You will also then learn how to cover the foundation in fabric of your choice to create a couture headpiece to be proud of.
