Description

Silk and Sinamay are two familiar materials in the world of hat making - But what happens when you combine them together? The lack of raw materials and the desire to break conventions inspired Maor to develop the Sina-Silk technique.

The Sina-Silk is a material made by the two different fabrics combined in a unique method, that provides the advantages of both worlds.

In this master class we will learn about silk and sinamay, discover the secret method for combining the textiles together, then learn how to manipulate this new material. We will create patterns, discover types of painting techniques and turn the flat material into three dimensional magic in the form of mini tophats. This technique does not require traditional millinery blocks and we teach you to utilize household objects to create these striking pieces.

Maor will guide you through from the initial idea to the assembling of all the pieces into a wearable and finished work of art.

All you need is a creative eye.
