Draped Felt Cloches
July 22, 2023 - July 23, 2023
Tutor: Laura Del Villaggio
Students will learn how to block a free-form cloche hat using a felt hood and a balsa utility block. You will use steam to soften the felt and your fingers to manipulate it into pleats and folds that are pinned into place until dry. The technique allows for a wide range of design possibilities but is especially suited for 1920’s style flapper hats.
