Inspire your students to try something new

WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES AND TAFES

Part of our aim is to introduce budding designers to the possibilities millinery can offer. The Hatmobile has enabled us to organise and deliver many guest classes for high school and TAFE students on the art and trade of millinery.

Art, design and textiles students will benefit greatly as Waltraud comes from a Fashion degree background herself.

See some of our previous workshop photos below to find out what they can make in just a single day with us!

Outcomes

  • Students develop and execute a design brief for a wearable headpiece.

  • They will be introduced to a wide range of textiles and tools used in the hat industry which can be integrated into many VCE subjects including studio art, textiles, design and media.

  • We also provide an introduction to learning about a very old trade and its history. Why do we say ‘mad as a hatter’? Why are hats important in religion, society and fashion? What does it mean to ‘wear many different hats’?

  • We also work towards breaking down held beliefs about beauty, self-perception and the perception of others.

  • Gender-neutral

If you are an art teacher hoping to inspire your students to try something different for their VCE folios, why not hold a millinery workshop for the class?
