Millinery Workshop - FREE IN PERSON

Ever looked at a stunning, custom hat and thought, "I could never make that"? Well, think again—it is much easier than it looks!

We would love to welcome you to this unique millinery workshop, led by textile artist Luisa Cotardo.

This experience explores the beautifully free-form nature of hat-making, treating it less like rigid sewing and more like creating wearable sculptures through textile design.

It’s a craft deeply connected to history and literacy, dating back to the 16th century when merchants trading luxury silks and haberdashery from Milan, Italy, were first called "milliners."

As an artist, Luisa’s passion is welcoming everyone at their own pace, boosting their creative confidence, and unlocking their hidden talents.

Whether participants prefer the steady rhythm of hand stitches or using a sewing machine, Luisa will guide them through the entire process.

You will get to work with feathers, silk, beads, and whatever else their creativity suggests, ultimately leaving with a wearable masterpiece of their own.
