During this one-day course in millinery, you will learn the foundations of traditional hat making and create your own, beautiful, personally designed hat, from start to finish. You will learn how to block straws, mix materials, use millinery stitches, ways to pinch, pleat and otherwise manipulate the straw into exiting shapes that will fit your personal style and liking.
We will use the finest parisisal straw capelines, panama and paper straws. You will finish your hat by using feathers, flowers, beads, pearls and ribbons for decoration. Agneta Persson Hauser has had her millinery company in New York City, since 1998.
Her hats and accessories have been featured at Bergdorf Goodman and other upscale boutiques in USA and Europe. The use of unusual shapes and sense of whimsy distinguish her designs.
Students should bring a notebook, pencil, hand towel, hair dryer and any objects of desire to embellish their design, for this class. Fee: $120 + material costs ($5-$15)
Payment due by June 10. Call the gallery to sign up: 860.693.4454 or email piasjolin@gmail.com
