Make it: Hats

Prekladám do slovenčiny…

In this hands-on family workshop, create your own extraordinary hat, inspired by nature, art and the unexpected. Inspired by the Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art exhibition, explore imagery from the natural world, extraordinary fashion creations and everyday objects to spark ideas for your own design. The first step is finding inspiration, discover how designers can transform the familiar into something completely new — and how a little imagination can turn a simple hat into a statement. Then it’s time to get designing. Sketch your ideas and experiment with shapes, colours, textures and details before choosing your favourite design to bring to life. Finally, the making begins. Lead by Matthew, bring your ideas to life. Working directly onto a hat, add felt, tissue paper, other fabric and craft materials. You’ll learn how small changes can make a big visual impact as your idea develops from a sketch into something you can wear. At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own magnificent hat — a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art that you designed and made yourself. You'll leave with new hat making skills and would have worked with a designer that has designed a hat for Lady Gaga! All materials will be provided, all sourced sustainably.
