Laura Dippold
Laura Dippold is a milliner and hatter from California, USA. She started down the path of millinery in 2007 by making a full 1860’s riding habit and hat. After making her first costume, she fell in love with theatrical millinery and wanted to learn more. She has been fortunate to learn additional millinery techniques, such as blocking hats and ribbon work, including these cockades, from other local teachers as well as online from instructors around the world, including Katherine Elizabeth’s Millinery & Business Academy.

This course is jam-packed with information. It is a lot to process at one time, so you may want to watch a few videos and read a few sections before moving on.
