Swans W.I. - February Meeting​

​

Our meeting in February was billed as a ‘Fascinator Demonstration’ but it turned out to be so much more than that.  Natalie Laine, Milliner, treated us to a talk on the art of millinery and we quickly learned why, in the millinery world, the term ‘Headpiece’ is used rather than ‘Fascinator’. Initially working for a prestigious millinery establishment in London, and now owning her own studio in New Street, Salisbury, Natalie enlightened us as to how she makes headpieces to suit a client whether it be the Mother of the Bride or an invitation to Royal Ascot. Learning about the different materials and embellishments used certainly gave us an insight into Natalie’s world of millinery and we really enjoyed seeing some of her creations.

 

SWANS business was then swiftly dealt with, with thanks as always, going to our members who provided us with a variety of delicious refreshments. This month SWANS W.I. would also like to heartily congratulate Great Wishford Primary School on a wonderful outcome to their recent Ofsted. Well done to everyone; we are all delighted for you.

​

Our next meeting is on 6 March at Wilton Community Centre at 2pm. You are most welcome to join us. Our theme for the afternoon is ‘Surprise’ – how intriguing!
