Includes: ½ yard of Jinsin straw, millinery grosgrain ribbon, and millinery wire.
Step into the world of sculptural millinery and learn how to transform Jinsin, a beautifully woven straw fabric, into a striking hat. Also known as Buntal, this unique material is crafted from the fine fibers of unopened talipot palm tree stalks and handwoven in the Philippines. With its ability to hold bold, fluid curves, Jinsin is perfect for creating elegant, architectural headwear.
After viewing an inspirational slideshow, you’ll discover how to shape, sculpt, and manipulate Jinsin to design a custom piece that blends style and sun protection. Whether you prefer a dramatic turban or a chic, minimalist visor, you’ll gain hands-on experience working with this dynamic material.
Outcome: Walk away with a beautifully crafted, ready-to-wear Jinsin hat or visor—perfect for sunny days with a touch of artistic flair.
Basic machine stitching skills required, though this workshop involves mostly hand stitching.
6 students maximum, to allow for personalized attention.
