Couture Fascinator/Cocktail Hats

More than a simple fascinator class, this class will teach frame making and covering; millinery trim, including feather work, and more. Various demonstrations using popular millinery materials (jinsin, crinoline, sinamay, etc.) will be given in class. Learn skills that apply to all facets of couture millinery. All fascinator supplies are included in class fee. Please bring scissors, pins, thread, measuring tape, and needles.  Although you will complete a buckram frame (wiring, stitching, etc.), finished frames will be provided so that you may cover and trim an additional hat(s), depending on your skill set and time.

A fee discount applies to Hatstruck blog members--$180 members, $225 non-members). Registration fee now due. A non-refundable fee of $40 will apply should you cancel the class within eight (8) days of the class start date.  For those registering from 1 to 8 days of the class and decide to cancel, the $40 non-refundable fee will also apply.
