CORAL ELEGANCE | Sculpting Felt Fascinators - Suitable for all levels

Step boldly into the vibrant realm of millinery with this hands-on workshop inspired by the fluid beauty of underwater worlds. 
Under Lina Stein’s expert guidance, you’ll craft your own fascinator using millinery felt, transforming smooth, delicate lines into striking, sculptural forms.
This session challenges you to create a lightweight, asymmetrical headpiece that commands attention from the side—ideal for making a statement at special events, races, or simply to enjoy wearing.
Master daring blocking and freeform shaping techniques that replicate coral’s unique textures and growth, blending traditional millinery with innovative steaming, wiring, and felt manipulation methods.

You will learn how to:

- Select and prepare the felt for blocking & sculpting and proceed to learn how to 'block' over one of Lina's collection of wooden shapes.
- Use millinery tools to stretch, curl, and form felt into flowing coral-like forms
- Incorporate subtle structural supports for height and stability
- Secure your head-piece/fascinator with combs, headbands, or elastic for invisible wear
- Embellish with optional details such as beading, stitching, or veiling for extra depth

Inspired by the elegance of soft movement and gentle curves, each piece will be unique— an expressive, wearable sculpture that celebrates you.
