    Review of Freeform Hat Blocking Workshop with Jasmin Zorlu, November 06, 2009

    I believe anyone will be pleased with the skills they learn in any class taught by Jasmin Zorlu. You will go home with a one-of-a-kind hat you'll be excited to wear! Jasmin's instruction is clear and she will lead you through the hatmaking process step by step. She has a serious interest in making sure all her students understand exactly what to do. A great artist and a great teacher. I highly recommend her classes.
