IN-PERSON

The 4-Day Workshops are structured around all skill levels. We are open to welcome any beginner to the very experienced. Waltraud teaches all techniques needed to make a workshop successful. She does not work to a specific theme or technique, you can say what you want to learn.
If you want to learn about lace, leather, straw, felt, free-shaping, esparterie, blocking or want to know about trimmings, thermoplastics or anything else, Waltraud is open to teaching it ALL if the resources are available and of course what time allows. Some people focus on learning as many techniques as possible and others want to finish a hat or 2 in the 2 days. All is possible.
If you like special colours or materials, always call Waltraud ahead of time.
A spirit of generous sharing is created in her workshops.

Waltraud also has a passion and great knowledge on mental health and well being through personal experience and there are many opportunities provided to use the hat-making materials as a form of art therapy and express life situations through colour and texture.
Waltraud leans towards a supportive learning environment where people can learn and share safely.
