    Hi there
    Just wondering if anyone knows of any half day / two hour workshops on making fascinators? They are pretty popular in some parts of the country but can't find any in Mayo. It's basically a once off fun class where youre shown how to make one, and materials provided, not a night course in millinery or anything!
    Would love any contacts/info
    Thanks!

    Have never heard of a workshop like that but I'd be interested in doing one if it didn't cost much.

    Is that addressed to me or Biko?
    As I said in my OP I'm just looking for a half day/ few hour course not anything more as it's for a group visiting..

    Lina Stein in Westport does them, half or full day course. The boutique Shine in Claremorris hosts millinery day courses every few months, think its either Lina or Joanne O Hora that does them

    Thanks for all the replies; unfortunately it's still not quite what I am looking for as hers seem like ones for those interested in getting into millinery, and also very costly (not costly I imagine if you want a course run by an expert, but we just want something fun for a few hours as pat of a hen do)..a lot of places run these fun courses over a couple of hours, with cakes and tea :) nothing too serious and for about 40 quid..not to worry, I'll keep searching but thanks!
