“We had an absolutely amazing time and Carolyn is a fantastic teacher. She really is invested in making sure we enjoyed our time and learnt skills we could take away and use at home. I look forward to attending some of the other classes Carolyn has on offer. Thank you for a great afternoon”
“Highly recommend this hat burning class—I’ve attended twice and had a great experience both times.
The instructor is knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to guide you through the process, making it suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience.
The class has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and there’s plenty of support to help you feel confident using the tools and creating your own design. It’s such a fun and creative experience, and I always leave feeling proud of what I’ve made. Definitely something I’d do again and recommend to others looking to try something different.
I have added photos of my finished products, they are held in a macrame hat hanger, which is another class available at meraki, which I again highly recommend”
“I had the most incredible time at the hat burning class..!
The step-by-step guidance made it easy to learn the basics of pyrography (wood burning) techniques on felt hats, even as a beginner. I loved having the creative freedom to design something personal while still feeling supported throughout the process. The tips on shading, line work, and composition were especially helpful, and it was amazing to see how each person’s hat turned out completely unique.
I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone wanting to try something creative, hands-on, and a little bit different. Such a fun experience.”
“Was a lovely class. Enjoyed doing something a little different. Would have been nice to have a drink supplied and a wee nibble. Even if it was bring a plate to share. Love my hat”
“After receiving a birthday gift card for a Bento workshop, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a lovely Sunday afternoon at a hat burning workshop with the wonderful Caroline. She was an incredible teacher—so informative, patient, and clearly passionate about her craft. Caroline did a fantastic job guiding us through the process, making it both fun and approachable, even for beginners. The atmosphere was relaxed and inspiring, and I walked away not only with a beautiful hat, but also with a newfound appreciation for the art. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a creative and memorable experience!”
