Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this millinery class:

Up your wardrobing, costume design and styling skills by adding millinery to your repertoire. Hats are the necessary punctuation for all but the most modern silhouettes. In framing the face, hats are one of the fastest tools used by pros to transmit the character’s state of mind, status and/or virtue. Simply choosing one feather over another or curving a brim just so, the character image can be drastically altered. 

Program begins with an overview of historic silhouettes, materials, sumptuary laws and décor. See techniques for creating character through selection as well as how to handle and maintain headpieces, including how to alter, clean, and make repairs. 

Work hands-on with a modern hat and, by clever manipulation and decoration, turn a class project into a period piece.

Necessary materials include: 
basic sewing kit for second class and project to be discussed in first class. 

Important:
Please bring a flea market, attic or inexpensive hat to the first class. It will be the basic foundation for our class project, reimagining this hat.

Note: Check room postings in the Fred P. Pomerantz Art and Design Center lobby (7th avenue at 27th Street), by security, or call the day of class for locations: 212-217-8741 or 212-217-3334.
