Crowned In Color Workshop

You’ve seen the hats. Now you’ll learn how to make your own.

For 5 years, I designed and sold 248 custom felt hats—each one painted with heart, sealed with love, and topped with my signature turquoise iris pin.

Now that the collection has officially retired, I’m revealing all my secrets in one joyful, creative workshop.

This isn’t just about painting hats—it’s about telling your story and wearing it proudly.

The Details

Here’s what I’ll teach you step-by-step:

• My exact paint + brush techniques for felt
• How to design a hat that tells your story
• What materials last (and which ones flake!)
• Where I bought the hats, the pins, and my packaging
• How I customized and styled each piece to sell

Bonus: You’ll even get my tips on how to photograph and price your hats for sales.

You’ll Walk Away With:

• A complete toolkit to keep painting more
• The courage to express your style boldly
• Lifetime access to the workshop replay

“No pressure. No perfection. Just you, your hat, and a brush full of possibility.”

A Quick Note About Replays

This workshop was created with the individual artist in mind — full of in-depth teaching, behind-the-scenes tips, and creative encouragement you can return to again and again.

If you’re planning to watch as a group, we kindly ask that each participant purchase their own replay. Just like you’d each grab a ticket for an in-person class, this helps support the time, energy, and resources that went into creating and sharing this experience.

Thank you for honoring this creative work and helping us continue offering workshops like these!
