With a background in textile design and an initial career in theatre costume design, Judy Bentinck trained in the craft of millinery with Rose Cory, who was the Queen Mother’s own milliner. With Rose she learned the secrets of traditional couture millinery, gaining an appreciation for true craftsmanship, well-balanced design and exquisite detailing.

Judy is a Founder Member and Director of The British Hat Guild. She also runs a variety of millinery courses from her central London studio at Cockpit Arts and teaches a Millinery Workshop and Vintage Millinery Workshop at Central St Martin’s UAL.
