Millinery is the art of making hats by hand. Bring your own style to this age-old art! For this modern millinery workshop we will meet for two consecutive sessions to make a free-form felt hat. In the first session we will design and wet-block Felt Hoods or Bodies into our own versions of classic hat styles. Samples include Classic 50s Fedoras, Sculpted Caps, Pork-Pie hats, Bowlers and 20s Cloches. In the second session you will learn the hand sewing techniques necessary to complete your hat, including sewing the head ribbon and adding hat bands, decorations and trim. Prior hand sewing experience is preferred but not required.

Corina Haywood studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where she learned the foundation of her millinery skills. For the past ten years she has been exploring the relationship between art and fashion through her unique approaches to contemporary millinery construction and design. Her pieces have been collected by individuals, retailers and private label clients, and have been featured in Elle and Women's Wear Daily among other publications. Corina brings a hands-on, experiential approach to both her work and teaching. While passing down tricks of the trade, she mixes a sense of the past with a playful approach to materials, encouraging students to find their own design aesthetic and create a piece they'll love to wear! corinahaywood.com
