Freeform Felt Hat 

Learn how to make a 1920's style cloche hat that perfectly fits you. In this two-day workshop, milliner Jasmin Zorlu will guide you through the exciting art of 'Freeform Draping’. Using steam and your fingers, manipulate a pre-formed fur felt hood on a standard wooden hat form and then hand-stitch it. No machine stitching skills are needed, only basic hand-stitching skills.
