Turn a Simple Hat Into a Wearable Work of Art
For the first time in Solana Beach, I’m teaching my signature painted hat technique — the same expressive style that helped me sell over 260 custom hats in the last few years.
In just 2.5 joy-filled, hands-on hours, you’ll transform your own hat into something bold, personal, and unforgettable.
You’ll leave crowned in confidence — and in color.
