Description:
The instructors, Scott Gray and Jeanna Gomez, will teach this class on two Saturdays, June 9 and 16 from 10am-2pm at the Seattle Opera Costume Shop. This class is a two part hat making workshop. The Saturday, June 9th class will include a general overview of hat construction techniques, flat patterning methods, measuring techniques, and assistance with paper mock-up of student designs. During the Saturday, June 16th class the students will continue work on a hat of their own design with supervision, Q and A with Scott and Jeanna, and guidance with finishing techniques.
Students should arrive with some idea of a hat they have interest in constructing for themselves during the course, and should complete the class with a solid idea of a process for its construction. Advanced students will complete the class with a finished (or nearly finished) hat.
Students should have a basic familiarity with and ability to use a sewing machine and/or a willingness to hand-sew. Students should bring scissors, push pins and note taking materials.
