May 16, 2012 Update Welcome to Kay’s Art of Millinery. The hat making workshop locations will be announced closer to the date of each workshop. The Florida and Atlanta dates have changed, and there are now two hat blocking classes. Both are being held on Fridays in LA, and Ontario California. The registration fee for the covering and frame making workshops is $350.00 for both days including supplies, $250.00 without supplies.
The registration fee for the blocking workshop is $125.00 for 8 hours, unless prior arrangements have been agreed upon. Those paying through PayPal have the option of making one, two, or three payments.
During the 2-day workshops, attendees will be covering buckram hat frames on the first day. Those paying for supplies for the covering class will receive (1) pill box, (2) round crown, (3) two-piece (crown and brim), lining, and grosgrain for each hat. ***All attendees are expected to come prepared with supplies listed on the supply page including embellishments to complete the covered hats.
The second day we will be making hat frames. The materials included in the fee include 2-3 yards of buckram, millinery wire, joiners, crinoline, and use of all tools necessary to create the frames. You will have access to more than 35 wooden hat blocks including previously purchased Fascinator blocks. During the frame making workshop you will hand-block hat shapes of your choice using buckram,and complete them for future use by utilizing the skills from day one.
The workshops are limited to ten participants and scheduled for 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, except when announced. Please register as soon as possible because they are limited to 10 participants, and may be cancelled if there is not enough participation. In the event a workshop is canceled, registration fees will be refunded.
All attendees have the option of enrolling for a third day for an additional $125.00. Students from prior workshops may attend 1,2, or 3 days, at any location at a discounted rate, but must work on their own, and inform me which location they wish to attend.
