    Review of Millinery 101: Felt & Straw Hat Blocking, March 26, 2009

    Ava is a great teacher. In one weekend I was able to complete three hats that actually looked professionally made.
    She started the workshop with a review of hat history, hat anatomy,construction, styles, and materials. Then we got busy. She was patient and gracious and full of knowledge.
    I'd do it again.
