ABOUT ME

 

LINDA FORD MILLINERY creates beautiful Ready-to-Wear and Bespoke headpieces and hats from her home based studio in Bundaberg Qld, Australia. 

Linda is continually striving to upgrade her millinery techniques and regularly undertakes training with some of our top Milliners. Sourcing quality materials from reputable suppliers, each piece is hand crafted and stitched with attention to detail.

Linda attended the “2013 Hats Off to Brisbane Millinery Convention” where she trained with several of Australia’s top Milliners. Learning new skills and working with new materials enabled her to extend her creativity base to bring you even more design options. Since attending this convention Linda has continued to extend her knowledge, continually delving into new areas of millinery.

Attendance at the "2015 Hats Off to Brisbane Millinery Convention" saw Linda train with reknown international Milliners, Ian Bennet & Tracey Chaplin as well as highly regarded Australian Milliner - Neil Grigg. Linda concentrated more on learning technical skills to design and make her own hat blocks and sculptural bases to open up a world of design options for her creations as well as increasing her knowledge of feather work, wire work and manipulating straws. 

Linda’s passion for all things architectural/sculptural shows through in many of her creations and you are assured that you will be obtaining an individual piece that will see you turning heads at any occasion. Rest assured though, that whilst her passion lies within the architectural/sculptural realm Linda creates more traditional and romantic headpieces as well and will work with you to design a headpiece to your satisfaction.

Linda regularly hosts workshops with top Australian & International Milliners, bringing them to Bundaberg, so that regional Milliners have access to continued training.  

Throughout 2015 LFM commenced running small workshops in specific areas of millinery. Contact Linda for further details
