Come create the hat of your dreams in my workshop, accompanied by a professional hat maker.
I'll share my crafting secrets with you. You'll receive personalized advice and access to all the professional equipment you need to make your own hat.
☕️ Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed in a friendly atmosphere around a drink, to exchange and enter the world of the hat. I will guide you through the main stages of manufacturing, the materials used and the history of this artisanal craft. Together, we will design the hat that will perfectly match your style and your desires.
✨ Dive into the heart of creation!
Once you've defined your ideas, we'll move on to the actual manufacturing process. We'll start by taking the necessary measurements and preparing the felt, which you'll learn to mold and block by hand on a professional last—an essential step in bringing your hat to life.
Once the felt is dry, you will have the pleasure of choosing from different crown shapes (caps) and hand-shaping the one that suits your preferences. You can then personalize every detail: the width of the edges, the trim, and any decorations or accessories that will embellish your creation (painting, sewing, hand pyrography, laser engraving, burning, beads, feathers, cards, etc.).
I will support you every step of the way, sharing my expertise and advice to ensure results that meet your expectations.
🎁 To round off this wonderful day, I will offer you an extra garnish and a small gift.
