This fun workshop begins with a visit to the Global Language of Headwear exhibition where we will learn about hats from all over the world. Afterwards, kids will make their own hats to take home. Attendees can take inspiration from the hats in the exhibition, or create a hat, headband, or crown from their own imagination using materials supplied by the museum. This workshop is suitable for ages 6-12. The cost is $10 per person, and parents are welcome to attend. Call Curator of Education, Jennifer Theeck, at 251-301-0270 for more information or to make a reservation.
