  We are delighted that you are interested in hats and hat making! We are here to help you learn how to make hats, which is not nearly as difficult as you might think. We can help provide all the equipment and information you will need along the way, and if when you have learned the skills you'd like to go into business, you can benefit from our success and join our Find a Hat Maker scheme.

How2hats are world leaders in hat-block making, supplying the needs of opera, film and theatre companies, colleges and universities, as well as individual milliners worldwide. Our information products, including a wide range of ebooks and a monthly emagazine, HATalk, are based on our experience of running a successful independent millinery school from 2000 – 2007. Our short, intensive courses were attended by students from all parts of the UK and around the world.

Learning hat making by attending a course costs time and money. Course fees, travel and accommodation costs all add up! An ebook, on the other hand, is both inexpensive and instant, arriving on your computer at the click of a mouse, and because it is a photographic, step-by-step guide, is an effective and easy way to learn. We have ebooks about millinery materials and where to buy them; how to use your equipment effectively; how to make hats of all kinds; how to set up in business - everything, in fact, that you’ll need to get started and to progress in hat making.

Millinery is a wonderful hobby – who else do you know who can make hats? It can also be a profitable one, and progress to being a satisfying, home-based business. What are you waiting for? Get started today!

We look forward to sharing with you on this exciting journey!
