The Art of Hatmaking Experience
Take a peek inside the life of a hat-maker and let us introduce you to our world of hand-crafted headwear; the art of hat-making.
We will begin with refreshments and introductions and once all participants are settled we will experience the history and process of hat-making.
During the process portion of the experience, we encourage our guests to get their hands dirty by working with the materials and our age-old tools alongside our professionals.
Following the history and interactive experience, you will have the opportunity for a one-on-one consultation with the hat-maker him/herself, which includes a complimentary hat fitting.
After your personal consultation, you will be able to purchase & customize your custom piece. Search through our stash of one-of-a-kind, vintage, handmade trinkets and trims sourced from all over the world to complete your piece. Guests will receive 15% off their custom hat, whether they choose to purchase the day/night of. This gift certificate will also be transferable.
The Art of Hatmaking is hosted from 12-2pm every 2nd and last Sunday of the month (dates available for purchase listed above) at our store in Buckhead Village District.
