Dawn loves making hats and cannot wait to share her passion with you. She likes to think of hats as wearable works of art, small felt sculptures in fact. During your felt exploration, there will be ample time for experimentation, as well as inspiration. You will create fabulous felt and nuno-felt hats through the wet-felting process. You will focus on techniques, patterns, and concepts using both open and closed resists (and some using multiple resists) to design our millinery creations.
Whether you are brand new to felting or looking to expand your skills, this workshop offers an exciting dive into 3D construction, shaping, and surface design. You will love the artistic possibilities, with functionality as an added bonus.
Such a dilemma – so many hat styles and only one head! Which style will you choose? Fun, whimsical, classic? Problem solved – perhaps, all of the above in our time together!
