Discover the art of millinery and craft a one-of-a-kind, ethereal headpiece in this hands-on weekend workshop. Using sinamay straw, a beautifully lightweight and sculptural material straw woven in the Philippines, you’ll learn to shape and style a fascinator that’s as unique as you are.

Guided by expert instruction, you’ll master the blocking technique to mold your hat, ensuring a perfect custom fit. Then, explore the creative possibilities of Sinamay—cut, wire, shape and assemble delicate forms to build an airy, eye-catching design. Whether you're drawn to elegant curves, dramatic angles, or a whisper of movement, this workshop will give you the skills to bring your vision to life.

Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike—come ready to experiment, create, and leave with a stunning fascinator that turns heads!

Basic hand-stitching skills desired, but not required. We won’t be using the sewing machine.

6 students maximum, to allow for personalized attention.
