Hello! I have added a date in December for the 'Freeform Hat Blocking' workshop. The one we had in the beginning of August was a great hit, below are some photos of the students' work. Sign up now, there are only 6 spaces available on each date! The workshop for November is SOLD OUT! Men are very welcome, past male students have made sweet caps!
Learn how to make a 1920's style cloche hat that perfectly fits you. In this two-day workshop, milliner Jasmin Zorlu will guide you through the exciting art of 'Freeform Draping’. Using steam and your fingers, manipulate a pre-formed fur felt on a standard wooden hat form and
then hand-stitch it. No machine stitching skills are needed, only basic hand-stitching skills.

6. Your headsize:
To determine your hat size, measure circumference of head just above top of ears. Wrap measuring tape gently around head making certain tape lies midway on your occipital bone (that little bump in the middle of the back of your head).
*Don't pull the tape too tightly or your hat will fit that tightly. Measure 2 or 3 times to be accurate.
7. Please answer: Do you have prior hatmaking experience?
