Hello everyone, Welcome to Kay’s Art of Millinery. It’s that time again, and I am planning sixteen two-day hat-making workshops scheduled for various states. All the workshops are $350.00 and includes some supplies.
For those interested in beginning hat making and blocking, these are workshops you will not want to miss. The exact locations will be announced later, however you may register for various cities by e-mailing me your names, dates you wish to attend and telling me what you wish to learn. Fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page, make sure you enter the code as it appears, and click the send button. Once the locations have been established I will notify you. At that time you may submit your registration fees.
During the first day of each workshop, students will learn techniques for covering, lining and completing three basic buckram frames. The second day will consist of frame making, attendees may block as many buckram hat frames as time permits, and will have more than thirty-five hat blocks from which to choose.
During this and all workshops, some sewing is required and some outside classroom work may also be required. Attendees may choose hat frames from my website. In order to complete all projects students are expected to come prepared to work on the first day by bringing specific items. All workshops are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the locations listed below.
You will leave these workshop with hats you can wear year round. Thank you for visiting my site and I look forward to sharing my Art of Millinery with you. If you have questions or comments e-mail me at kaydurdenusa@netscape.net or call me at 318 792-5757.
