Silk and Sinamay are two familiar materials in the world of hat making - But what happens when you combine them together? The lack of raw materials and the desire to break conventions inspired Maor to develop the Sina-Silk technique.

The Sina-Silk is a material made by the two different fabrics in a unique method, that provides the advantages of both worlds.

In this taster class we will learn about silk and sinamay, discover the secret method for combining the textiles together, then learn how to manipulate this new material. We will create an incredible Waterlily.

Maor will guide you through from the initial idea to the assembling of all the pieces into a beautiful flower.

All you need is a creative eye.

$195 per person. All Materials included.

Sunday April 26th 2024 10am- 6pm with an hour for lunch

Join Maor Zabar for a 1 day workshop learning to use thermoplastic to make fantastic flowers.

Whether you’re a hat-making enthusiast eager to explore the world of thermoplastics, or an artist passionate about creating three-dimensional forms and looking to learn a powerful new technique, this workshop is for you.

Thermoplastic sculpting is one of Maor’s favorite methods for building his signature headpieces. In this unique approach, which he developed, thermoplastic is combined with silk to craft detailed, dynamic flowers, leaves, and other organic shapes. This fusion of materials results in vibrant, long-lasting pieces that are far more durable than those made with traditional techniques.

In the workshop, we’ll delve into the structure of your chosen flowers, develop patterns, and bring them to life using coloring techniques, wiring, and the process of heat and steam. By manipulating these versatile materials, you’ll transform your flat designs into stunning three-dimensional creations.

All you need is a creative eye.

$350 per person. All Materials included.
