Learning the Craft
The Workshop Ledger documents my journey into the traditional craft of felt hat making—from studying the tools and techniques of the trade to restoring vintage hats and eventually creating hats of my own. It is a working record of what I learn, what works, what doesn’t, and the skills I develop along the way.
