Hat Making Workshops
Create a Hat from Scratch with Instruction by Master Milliner, Jenny Pfanenstiel
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make hats from scratch, or expand your current knowledge of hat making?
Join us for a day of creativity, friendship and all things hats. All levels of experience welcome. Hat making workshops are available through group instruction, private 1on1, or a custom series. Hat workshops are taught by Master Milliner, Jenny Pfanenstiel at the Formé Millinery Hat Shop in Louisville, Kentucky. In order to plan each workshop accordingly, pre-registration is required. Reserve your spot for each course of interest via PayPal below. Each person will receive a Certification of Completion in their particular course.
Each course starts off with a tour of Jenny’s Hat Shop and personal work space where she creates the hats. You will understand the uses of the different hat blocks, some dating back 100 years and be able to see them up close. You will learn the different types of millinery materials for blocking and sculpting and how they are best used. Jenny will work closely with each person guiding them on the proper couture techniques used to create the hat or embellishment.
If you are interested in a private workshop, please contact us for details, info@formemillinery.com.
Please note, due to preparing materials for each student ahead of time, there are no refunds. If an emergency shall arise, she is more than happy to reschedule with you.
Location
Workshops take place at the Formé Millinery Hat Shop at 1009 E. Main St. Louisville, Kentucky, unless otherwise noted. Jenny is available to travel locally and internationally for custom hat making workshops.
