Hat Making For Beginners

Discover how to make your very own hat out of reclaimed materials with our guest skill sharer Liane from the St Marys Repurposing and Upcycling Group in North-East Tasmania. In this workshop Liane will take you through the process of creating a bespoke hat from scrap materials and recycled clothing. Various hat designs will be available. All participants will come away with their very own hat, created using either a sewing machine or hand stitching. Liane will have a range of hats on display for inspiration.

This workshop is recommended for both adults and young people (ages 13 years and older). 

Note - If this workshop books out, a second workshop will be delivered on Friday 14th April, 10am-3pm. Please join the wait list to be notified if this workshop will proceed.
