Local hatmaker Leslie Robinson will be supervising collage, beading, knitting, sewing and other handwork activities while taking apart and repurposing vintage hats, working on new fascinators and other projects that mix modern and vintage material. Bring your own accessorizing projects to get tips, or embark on something new! Some materials provided and others are available for purchase from Leslie, or bring your own. Even if you have no ...idea what to make, you can learn some great handwork tips from Leslie and embark on a new craft.

Short classes make parking a breeze! $4 for 3.5 hours at Structure 6, right around the corner.

‘Leslie Robinson has been crafty ever since she was a little girl, growing up in rural Illinois. She comes from a line of un-traditionally traditional creative types and has always been passionate about history and the arts. After graduating from University twenty years ago, she packed up a U-Haul and moved to Los Angeles. Inspired by the weather and the vibrant visual feast that is L.A., Santa Monica and Hollywood, she has continued to create under two guises: Hooray4lala (hooray4lala.blogspot.com) and Flapper Femme (flapperfemme.com).
