This was a great British experience. My mother and I truly enjoyed Elena. We highly recommend her class on making fascinators. We learned a lot about hat making. It was a great day for a mother daughter outing.
Dear Christine, thank you for your kind words. I am so pleased to hear you liked the experience. It was such a pleasure meeting you both and well done on such beautiful hats you've made! Best wishes, Elena
Elena was so nice and patient with us. She made the whole process feel so welcoming and my niece loved learning the process and was so excited to have made her own fascinator. I know this was a core memory and she’ll remember it forever! It was a unique way to experience London outside of the typical tours and sites.
Learning a tiny bit about millinery was fascinating. Picking out ones own colors and learning how to manipulate the materials was very Interesting. We had an excellent teacher in Elena. Definitely recommend this experience.
Excellent experience!!! Our teacher was super helpful and took us step by step through how to make a fascinator! There were loads of laughs and we learned a lot. Small cozy workspace. Definitely recommend!!!!
A fabulous rainy day activity. I am not the least bit creative - but with Elena's help even I produced a very cute fascinator.
Elena is a fabulous instructor. She was able to teach a very unskilled individual to create a thing of beauty. Material, water, folding, tiny bit of glue, and steam were the only components required. Signed up to take the class a second time while I’m in London😁
I truly enjoyed this experience making a Fascinator. Elena was very patient and very clear in her instructions. She was also easy to talk with. I highly recommend this course!
I booked this activity as part of a "grandmother/granddaughter" trip to London this summer. It was such a great bonding experience and we had so much fun creating our fascinators! Elena was knowledgeable, thorough and especially patient with me since I tend to ask a lot of questions! It is especially nice to be able to remember that day every time I see my fascinator! Thank you, Elena!
Each step in the process was clearly explained and demonstrated. The material choices were expansive and the finished product was divine! I can’t wait to make another one when I get home!
We enjoyed trying on all of the hats and wore one each whilst making our fascinator. Elena was a patient teacher and we learnt a lot about the process including making our own fascinator. It was made special as we were making them for special events.
