The
course introduces the technical skills needed for blocking and shaping
buckram, wiring, draping, lining and trimmings. |
 |
Students
will be encouraged to develop their own design abilities. Assistance
with the design idea will be given and there will be plenty of source
material however it would be an advantage for the students to have
carried out some research before they arrive.
Students will make one hat during the 2 days with the use of buckram
and fabrics.
Components for a successful hat include a clear shape, a good fit
and attractive and suitable trimmings. |
Max number
of students: 4-5
