EIA RADOSAVLJEVIC WILL BE TEACHING A WEEK LONG HAT COURSE IN MICHIGAN

Radosavljevic will be teaching at Ox-Bow, the School of the Art Institute's summer location in Saugatuck, Michigan this August. Registration is open to students looking for degree credits as well as those interested in learning different straw hat techniques while enjoying the outdoors.

In the course this summer students will create headwear ranging from conventional to avant-garde using millinery straw in three different forms—flat yardage, braided, and traditional “hood” or “capeline.”

Beginning with traditional techniques, students are encouraged to venture into non-traditional straw sculpting inspired by the nature that surrounds them. Investigation and discussion of the historical, haute couture, functional, spiritual, or social roles of headwear will follow a visual presentation.

No prior hand-sewing experience is necessary. The supply list is provided in advance and difficult –to- find source materials are provided by the instructor and included in the lab fee.

Details about Ox-Bow and course registration is at www.ox-bow.org.
