Heavyweight Felt Hat Blocking Workshop with DeAnna Gibbons

“Create your own custom durable brimmed hat”

This is the workshop for someone who is passionate about wide brimmed contemporary hats. This class offers the opportunity to make yourself a new hat with the crown and brim dimensions that you have been looking for. In this workshop we will be working with a heavier weight felt which lends itself to large, medium, curved or flat style brims paired with a traditional or unusual crown shape. On the second day students will take their hats off the blocks and learn to customize them further using the hand draping method. Students will finish their hats with grosgrain ribbon, fabric or handmade felt trims. This workshop is appropriate for first time students and continuing students who would like to learn more about heavyweight felt and further their millinery/hatting skills. All materials are included, the color range of heavyweight felt is more limited, if you want a special color we will do our best to get it for you but need a one month advanced notice. Space is limited to 3 students to assure individual attention.
