2-DAY Beret or Mini Hat WORKSHOP $450.00

Time : December 8+9, 2023

FRIDAY + SATURDAY 10AM - 5PM

"Make a hand blocked felt or straw hat"

This workshop will be a fast moving two-day introduction to the world of millinery. Students will learn to hand block a mini to medium size (think Beret) self-trimmed special occasion hat. The emphasis will be on learning how to manipulate the materials to the fullest with techniques including blocking, draping, cutting and wiring millinery straw and felt. An emphasis on good design and professional sewing techniques will give students the ability to walk away with a self created gem at the end of the two days. This workshop is appropriate for the novice or continuing student who would like a chance to further their millinery skills. Hat making materials will be provided in black straw, black felt, veiling and ribbon. If you have any specialty trims such as feathers or treasured vintage trims feel free to bring them to incorporate into your design. If you want to work with a color other than black please make your color request when signing up.

Space is limited to 4 students.

No prior sewing skills are needed to enroll, novice + advanced students are welcome.
