PROGRAM
HATTERY MUSEUM
December 22 - Monday
Artistic Expression Workshop | Felting for Christmas Decorations
Christmas is coming and the decorations are ready. But there's always room for one more accessory on our tree, nativity scene, or wall.
Using felting techniques, leftover felt from the hat industry, and other materials, no one will resist our creations.
December 23 - Tuesday
Artistic Expression Workshop | Once upon a time there was a hat factory
The Hat Museum continues its 20th anniversary celebration, and we want to continue telling its story.
After getting to know it through cutouts, drawings, and collages, we'll illustrate it in a very brief pop-up story/postcard.
December 26 - Tuesday
Artistic Expression Workshop | Futuristic Hat Making
With Christmas over, we look to the New Year. What will the hats of the future be like?
Peeking into the new hat makers, we mix styles and materials and find our vision. Hands on the future?
