Embellish Atelier

Hi Everyone!

I’m making an exciting new short film called “Horse Feathers”. It’s an emotionally charged story about a jockey torn between his dreams of glory and everyone he loves and it will challenge every perception we have about the so-called ‘Sport of Kings’.

The film was short listed for the prestigious Screen NSW EFF fund last year (film makers such as David Michod, the director of “Animal Kingdom”, won this prior to getting their breaks) and my film has already received the financial support of the Australian Jockeys Association (AJA), which represents every jockey in Australia.

Please visit the fundraising page listed below and any donation, however big or small, would be greatly appreciated. There are some great rewards for supporters including Hopscotch Films DVD packs and credits for the film.

Film making is costly process and I hope you’ll see the potential in this project and support it.

Thank you,

Tim Russell

Hi Catherine

Hows things going for you? I hope your having lots of classes
for your wonderful hats.

Do you remember me? I did your intense class last Oct, I was
the reciprient of the Shoalhaven Womens Conference grant.

Id just like to say a big thank you for your time and help
with sharing your knowledge and techniques in millinery.
What i learnt from you opened a whole new way I created my designs.

The conference was last Thursday and the reception I got from the 320
inspiring ladies was wonderful, the audible gasp and loud applause I recieved
when the ladies wearing my creations came out was wonderful.The colours and the diversity
were a nice surprise to the ladies, they had no idea these items were created here
in Nowra.

Ive attached the link to the story in our local newspaper. And Im very proud of my 1st collection.

Thank you again Catherine
kind regards
Linda Styke

Embellish atelier have busily creating  hats for weddings,

race days, made some yummy warm winter furs, and stacked up

several flat pack travel hats over the past few months.

We have also rescued some damaged ons,and made 35 hats for

the Monte Sant Angelo production of Beauty and the Beast.

We have recently staged a hat parade for

the Lindfield Ladies Luncheon Club

 

I was very sad to farewell Rebecca Willis but am very proud of

her for her appointment as a milliner for The Australian Opera and

love spotting her name on the programme.

 

I have been very happy to welcome 3 very talented new milliners

to my team – Alison Rees-Oliviere , Hollie Wright fresh from

making hats in the UK for guests for the Royal Wedding

and Hugh Stewart.
