“Thanks for your amazing workshops, Zsófia, I have learnt so much and really refined my hat making through your wonderful classes. You are so generous with your knowledge and when I look back at what I was creating 5 years ago I am so thankful I found you. ”
“"I studied felt hat-making with Zsófia for four years, and I gained skills I had never anticipated. Zsófia is a gifted teacher and artist who has inspired me on so many levels! Don’t miss any workshops with Zsófia if you want to dive into the art of hat-making!””
““I had been felting for about 10 years and longed to learn to make higher-quality felted hats. The workshops I've participated in have transformed the way I approach not only hat-making but also felt-making. Zsofia is incredibly skilled and creative, AND she also has the gift of communicating her knowledge and enthusiasm to her students. Taking part in her workshops has given me so many ideas for variations and new experiments with hat-making that I will need another lifetime to carry out!””
““I was so excited to have the opportunity to take one of Zsófia’s classes. I’ve taken four now! Her elegant style was exactly what I was hoping to achieve with my own hat-making. Zsófia’s classes have taught me how to refine my felt to create beautifully sculpted hats"”
““I thoroughly enjoyed Zsofia’s courses. She is very thorough and generous with her time and knowledge. Her years of experience are obvious in the techniques she imparts and the manner in which she explains and demonstrates the various techniques. I am very pleased with the hats I have been able to produce utilising the new techniques I have gained from Zsofia. Thank you, Zsofia, for your kindness and generosity.””
