About this Event
Western Hat & Suede Ball Cap Workshop with Hat Lady Biz
Come create something that is uniquely YOU with Hat Lady Biz!
Join Stephanie, owner and hat artist of Hat Lady Biz, for a fun, hands-on Western Hat & Suede Ball Cap Workshop. Whether you love Western style, want to try something new, or simply want to create a one-of-a-kind hat, this workshop is for you!
Men, women, and kids are welcome! Participants under the age of 18 must attend with an adult.
No artistic experience is needed! Stephanie will guide you through the creative process, teach you how to safely use the tools, and show you different techniques for bringing your ideas to life.
Every Hat Should Tell a Story
At Hat Lady Biz, we believe every hat should tell a story, YOUR story.
Maybe your hat represents your faith, your family, where you've been, something you've overcome, what you love, or where you're headed next. Through artwork, branding, words, symbols, and accessories, you'll have the opportunity to put a little piece of you into your hat.
Every hat has a story… what will yours say? 🤎

Put Your Story on Your Hat 🤎
We believe every hat should tell a story.
What is YOUR story?
Hat Sizing & Style Guide
Need a different hat? No worries! We travel with 80–100 extra hats in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors, so if your pre-selected hat isn't the right fit, you may exchange it at the event while supplies last.
📏 How to Measure Your Head
Using a soft measuring tape, wrap it just above your ears and around your forehead where your hat will naturally sit. Measure in centimeters (cm) to find your best fit.
