Synonymous with the 17th - 19th Centuries, the tricorn hat--sometimes called the cocked hat, and sometimes called the pirate hat-- could arguably be considered the first hat. A must have staple in every costumer's closet, the tricorn is there to top an excellent fair outfit. In this class, students will learn the history & style of different tricorns then block, shape & trim a hat of their own. Whether it befits a French Noble or a Pirate Rogue, each student will leave with one hat.

  • 1st class - Students will choose a style, block & shape their hat. 2nd class - Students will learn how to make a ribbon cockade & trim their hat.

    Students must know how to hand-sew.
  • Students can bring any ribbons, trim or feathers to customize their hat.

At a young age, Victoria cultivated a delight for hats. Summer trips back to England meant hat shopping for various celebrations. She remembers fondly the adventure of going to London and walking through forests of hats to choose from. It was this fascination that finally lead to a deep interest in millinery. It was during her studies in architecture and engineering that she came to understand that with an understanding of materiality, one's options are unlimited. This has followed her into her career as a couture milliner that passionately upholds the traditions of millinery, while redefining classic headwear, challenging conventions and technique alike.
