Hours and hours of lessons. Here you can learn how to make and wear and love hats and use creativity for Mental well-being. Waltraud Reiner believes hats are the art of the heart. A hat has to fit. A hat is so much more than a covering for your head. A hat can give you access to how you feel. Explore through colour and texture something about your life. Waltraud uses many metaphors as she makes hats and talks you through the process. Apart from being a milliner for over 30 years, Waltraud also holds an MA in Gestalt Psychotherapy. What is Millinery? What does a Milliner do? How do you block a hat? How do you make a hat without hat blocks? What do hatblocks look like? How do we use veiling? Hats for men, women and non-binary?

Where are the Millinery suppliers? How is a turban made? Where can I get Esparterie? How do I stiffen a hat? How can I use hat-making for my well-being? What are the hats for Happiness? Why is making stuff good for us? Please note that Tax is added at checkout.
