About Me
Hana Skorpilová has been teaching traditional, classic and modern techniques, including art freestyle, of women’s hat making since 2009. Hana’s education and creative license are based on a revival and understanding of original traditional millinery practices, and she transfers this experience to the students. Artistic liberty is taken in combining traditional and modern design. Hana is an experienced and cheerful group leader and successfully always finishes classes with awe and love for her students. Hana Škorpilová regularly prepares courses/workshops. Courses are offered for unexperienced beginners up to advanced students.

Classes take place in the beautiful Czech capital of Prague. The studio classroom is right in the heart of the city center. Though our courses are two-day, it is possible to request longer term private classes. A bonus opportunity is available to visit the Czech factory Tonak where students can buy wholesale the highest quality hat bodies made of rabbit in the world. This is a private day-long trip. The millinery school workshop is equipped with a unique collection of antique forms. Courses are either in groups (per the listed program) or individual (per request). Hana always welcomes individual teaching on specific topics upon request.
