Lina Stein Millinery, Westport

Originally from Australia, Milliner Lina Stein has been based in Westport, Ireland for many years.
For more than two decades she has been creating amazing hats and is recognized as a leading light in the world of Irish Millinery through her flamboyant and extravagant hats that signal her presence and individual creativity.
To diversify and expose herself to new experiences, she decided in 2007 that the time was right to open the door on the world of Hat making and share her knowledge about the traditional art of Millinery with “hat-interested” people from the world over.
Through the Millinery workshops that she holds in her “bijou” studio just outside Westport, she has inspired countless novice Milliners from both Ireland and abroad to take up the thimble, needle & thread and to try their hand at something new whilst enjoying every moment.
She has also been taking her Millinery skills to an International level, • Guest-tutor at the International Millinery Forum in Australia both in 2012 and 2014
• Millinery Master Classes in the USA
• Millinery master Classes in Germany
• Millinery workshops in Australia
Her teaching techniques are proving to be rather successful, giving her students the confidence to set up small enterprises, participate in International Millinery Competitions or to simply strut their stuff at the races.

Lina's background in "Classic theatrical Millinery" has provided her with the unique expertise to unite traditional hat-making know-how with modern design, creating hats of great sophistication and clean lines. Living on the western periphery of Europe has also been a major source of inspiration which has led Lina to developing new a varied methods of working with traditional Millinery materials.
