Millinery Studio Workshop
a one week in person apprenticeship
Learn hat making 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 workshop is for you if you are ready to be a hat maker, for real. This is perfect for you if you want to start a business or just deeply understand and know hat making. This is beyond the basics. After this course, you’ll be confident and ready to move forward with your vision.
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.
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.
