Millinery Meet Up began as a true ‘meet-up.’ A meet-up of 50 millinery students and 4 millinery instructors in 2014. Founded by Jan Wutkowski and Diane Shaggott, “MMU,” as it’s lovingly shortened to, is North America’s foremost millinery educational and social event. The popularity and success of Millinery Meet-Up grew quickly and in 2016 it doubled in size and offered an expansive choice of instruction with tutors from around the world.

In addition to the renowned tutelage, a multitude of sponsors and millinery suppliers brought the tactile experience of millinery materials to live in MMU marketplace.

During 5 days on the campus of Arrowmont School of Arts and Craft, students, suppliers, and instructors can mingle together, share stories, experiences and build friendships that span across the continents.
