An award-winning milliner is set to put a feather in Haslemere Museum’s cap with her upcoming talk.

Joanna Zara will tell the story of her unusual career path “from maths to millinery,” offering a behind-the-scenes peek at the unique blend of craft, skill and joy involved in designing and making handmade hats for her clients.

Whether you’re looking for a hat for a wedding, or a day at the races, Joanna has done it all. She won the international open design competition held by Lock & Co of St James's – the oldest and best-known hatter in the world.
