HAT RACK

Hello, my name is Kay Durden,

I have been in the Millinery business almost twenty years. My first line of hats consist of simple bridal frames purchased from millinery houses and trimmed (decorated and covered). After being in the millinery business a short time I realized there was a market for custom made church, evening, prom and everyday hats. I also realized designing custom hats meant formal training, and finding millinery classes in the Los Angeles area was not an easy task. I soon sadly realized the Millinery art I wanted so desperately to learn was one of the best kept secrets; because very few instructors wanted to share what they knew. Determined to find some one on the West Coast to teach me the art, I began my search, and eventually found one of the top Millinery Designers in this country....right here...in California. She shared the Art of Millinery with me and a number of others before passing on, and over the years I learned to perfect that art. I now sell my designs as well as teach others who wish to learn the art. My millinery classes are taught in four locations throughout the South Bay area of Los Angeles. The classes consists of basic covering, frame making, and blocking. I also teach several classes of advanced covering, leather blocking, draping, and covering and blocking on frames. So......If you are a milliner wanna be, now you can be. Below is a listing of classes and locations. E-Mail me with any questions or comments: kaydurdenusa@netscape.net,
