Millinery Studio Workshop
a one week in person apprenticeship
Come hang out with me in my beachside studio!
You’ll learn everything; from sourcing tools and materials, to hat making start to finish. The skilled trade of millinery tradition is rooted in apprenticeship as a ceremony of knowledge transfer to keep the art form and industry alive and well. My mission is knowledge share and invite you in to the world of hat making.
I firmly believe there is enough room in this industry for everyone who wants to make hats. No two makers will make the same as we all have a different story to tell.
This is a one week, full time workshop, with me in my Southern CA beachside studio. Everything is walkable from my studio, including hotels, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, the beach, and more. I’ll provide you a guide of where to stay, where to go, and what’s around. Read below for dates available to book and sign up details
It’s a luxury experience.
It all begins with feeling. Listen to the whisper in your heart guiding you to your joy. Expand yourself in all ways.
