L'atelier en détail
Step into the world of millinery with Michela's two-day workshop, where you'll learn the art of hat-making and create your own felt hat from scratch.
On the first day, Michela will introduce herself and her brand, Laughter in the rain, setting the stage for a creative and inspiring experience. You'll dive into the world of felt, exploring different types and learning about stiffening techniques and products. Next, you'll discover how to measure your head and choose the perfect block type for your hat, whether it's a trilby, boater, beret or percher/cocktail hat. Using traditional millinery techniques, you'll block the hats so they can take shape overnight. With pre-prepared felts in a range of colors, you'll have the freedom to choose the perfect shade for your creation.
On the second day which you will arrange directly with Michela, it will be time to bring your hat to life. You'll steam and brush your felt, carefully remove it from the block and trim it to perfection. Michela will guide you through the process of shaping and hand stitching the headband, as well as hand stitching the wire, imparting valuable knowledge about its importance. You'll then choose between a brim binding or a rolled hem / raw edge brim finish to add the finishing touches to your masterpiece. With Michela's expertise, you'll explore different trimming methods using felt scraps, fabric or ribbon, before steaming and brushing your hat one last time. Finally, you'll take home your finished hat!
Join Michela and get ready to unleash your inner designer and create a timeless piece that reflects your unique style and personality.
