Trim & Embellishment Workshop
"All good hats are made out of nothing" Oscar Wilde
Having learned to block a straw or felt hat the next challenge for many students is successfully trimming of their hats. This three day workshop will build your design experience. Learn to create elegant sashing, draping and bows with silk dupioni, organza and chiffon fabrics or ribbons. Create simple or dramatic trims with flowers, feathers, straw braids, felt and straw remainders. Please plan to bring 3 to 4 hats that are ready for trimming - the brims are sewn or finished if appropriate and the headsize ribbon is sewn in.
One day of the workshop will be taught by Tricia Roush focusing on ribbon work trims, flat work for banding, ribbon flowers, rosettes. Visit her blog at House of Nines Design
Additional hats are encouraged if time and skill warrant. Most work will be done by hand with some light use of sewing machines. You decide how fast you work and how much you do. Wayne always does his best to ensure everyone leaves with professional looking hats they will enjoy wearing.
Prerequisite: Students need to have attended a Felt & Straw Blocking Workshop and be familiar with blocking skills. We will not be blocking in this workshop so please have several completed hats.
