The Millinery Retreat introduces a new concept in millinery education in Australia.

Immerse yourself in the art of hat-making with a variety of traditional and contemporary classes. Located in the beautiful Macedon Ranges, our retreat is set in Kerrie (Riddells Creek), just 58 km from Melbourne CBD and 30 km from Melbourne Airport.

Our facilities include a block library with over 500 hat blocks, featuring many unique one-off vintage pieces. Our large, purpose-built millinery studio accommodates up to 10 students, with no minimum class sizes, ensuring personalized attention for every participant.

Enjoy luxury guest bedrooms and guest cottages on our 200-acre farm, nestled within a stunning rural conservation zone.

Learn from our in-house tutor, Possum Ball, an esteemed milliner with years of experience and a passion for sharing her craft.
