This class will cover how to stiffen and hand block traditional fur felt fedoras and homburgs using open crown blocks. We will create crown “creases” and “indents” by hand along with curled brims, clean cut brim edges and grosgrain edging by both hand and machine. A variety of hat band styles will also be explored. The class includes complete supplies for two fur felt hats along with your lunch each day. A basic sewing kit will be needed.
