PERIOD MILLENERY FOR FILM AND THEATRE
Summer Schools 2009

These workshops cover the construction and styling of historical hat making. Methods used will be stitched straw, covered buckram shapes and soft hats cut from flat patterns. The courses will allow you to familiarise yourself with hat production techniques for film and theatre, also developing your skills in trimming.

Previous experience is not necessary – but basic sewing skills are required. A wide range of historic and film references are supplied as are the foundation materials of buckram and wire and pattern paper. Strip straw is available to purchase. Bring your own sewing box with needles, thread, scissors and tape measure if possible.

The period covered will be 19th century to start but if you have a personal preference for something special, different ideas are welcome.
