As the demand for quality millinery materials continues to rise, Wendy recognizes the challenges faced by intermediate to advanced milliners in sourcing traditional supplies like buckram, cap net (Paris net), and esparterie. In response to this, Wendy is excited to offer a unique opportunity for fellow artisans to explore innovative alternatives by Redefining Hat Foundations that not only address the scarcity and cost issues but also push the boundaries of traditional hat-making techniques.
Understanding the pivotal role that a strong foundation plays in the longevity and quality of hats and headpieces, Wendy emphasizes the importance of crafting durable bases that stand the test of time. By mastering the art of creating sturdy foundations, participants in this upcoming class will not only ensure the durability of their creations but also pave the way for these pieces to become cherished vintage heirlooms in the future.
Registration is now available for the weekend of Saturday 31st August & Sunday 1st September 2024, as Wendy invites you to embark on a journey of discovery and skill-building.

Also during the workshop, you will have the opportunity to hone your craft by crafting and blocking foundations for a variety of headpieces, including alice bands, crowns, button blocks, and small plates (feel free to bring your own piece for a personalized touch).
In addition to the technical aspects of foundation-making, Wendy will also share insights into 1940s hat trim designs, allowing you to imbue your creations with a timeless, vintage aesthetic that transcends trends and fads.
