My friend and I just took Deannas Straw Hat Draping workshop. It was amazing! Deanna is so knowledgeable and patient! Not only does she walk you through each step, from design to completion, but also explains a bit of history and reasons for the techniques!Deanna is very warm and encouraging. Her studio is a wonderful, inspiring place to create!At the end of this two day workshop we felt very accomplished and had beautiful, unique hats.

I took a class with DeAnna on fedora making and it was such a fun way to spend the weekend! She has extensive knowledge of different hat making techniques, styles, materials, and construction. Plus she has a lot of hats around her studio for inspiration. She has lots of hat blocks for all different head sizes and styles and lots of different felts to choose from as well. Additionally, her classes are small so every student has enough time with her. Would definitely recommend!

Just an overall outstanding experience in learning a new skill and talent with Deanna. She is super talented, and has a world class eye. Her understanding of Millinery and the way she shares with you the information is very warm and wonderful. She is a terrific teacher, talent, craft person and all around artist. I will certainly take more classes from her in the future! #thestyleranger

DeAnna has made several beautiful hats and head pieces for me. Her pieces are always custom and of the highest quality. She has amazing skill as a milliner and is great at figuring out what is the best piece for you. I cant recommend her highly enough.

I recently took a two-day class from Deanna and it was just great!! She was welcoming, her studio is awesome and her teaching-style is wonderful. There were 4 of us in the class and we all ended up with a finished hat by the end of the second day. I would recommend her classes to anybody wanting to learn from scratch or just to gather more information about hat-making.

I love the classes I have taken at DeAnnas studio. She has a knack for being radically inclusive of entirely different skill sets in her students, from those who have made hats and can sew, to those with far fewer skills. She helps her students transition from their vestigial creative thoughts to hats, a wearable art form. I have taken individual as well as group classes, there are advantages to each. In addition to the learning and creative process, her classes are incredibly fun. In addition to hats, I have made hand dyed silk flowers and can now make these at home.

I adore DeAnna, she is truly an artist in every way. Her hats are amazing. I have several head pieces from her that I absolutely love. I have taken several workshops at her very sunny, creative, beautiful and super organized studio. I always feel like an artist there. She is patient, generous and has an amazing sense of style. Most importantly, she passionately shares her knowledge freely and from experience. I love that when I am there, I have access to the best equipment and materials... its like a walking into millenary heaven. I cant wait to take more workshops, it is always fun, relaxing and I walk out of the workshop inspired and with something beautiful. Thank you!

Her workshop was fantastic. Learned so much and wear my creation constantly.

Truly exceptional hats. DeAnna is an amazing artist and crafts person.
