Silk and Sinamay are two familiar materials in the world of hat making - But what happens when you combine them together? The lack of raw materials and the desire to break conventions inspired Maor to develop the Sina-Silk technique.
The Sina-Silk is a material made by the two different fabrics in a unique method, that provides the advantages of both worlds.
In this taster class we will learn about silk and sinamay, discover the secret method for combining the textiles together, then learn how to manipulate this new material. We will create an incredible Waterlily.
Maor will guide you through from the initial idea to the assembling of all the pieces into a beautiful flower.
All you need is a creative eye.
$195 per person. All Materials included.
Sunday November 22nd and Monday November 23rd 2026 10am- 6pm with an hour for lunch

Join Maor Zabar for a 2 day workshop learning to make your creations float on air.
One of the most fascinating and challenging techniques in hat design is the ability to create the illusion that elements are floating effortlessly in midair. Over the years, I have developed a method that uses cleverly manipulated wire structures to make materials appear as if they barely touch the surface.
In this immersive workshop, we will explore the art of sculpting with wire to create gravity-defying headpieces that blend fantasy, whimsy, and technical precision. Participants will learn how to shape, cut, bend, color, and connect different materials—combining them with structural wires to create striking visual illusions.
Through hands-on experimentation, we’ll delve into balance, negative space, and the delicate tension between structure and freedom. The final creation will not only be wearable—it will seem to hover, dance, and soar above the head, turning the wearer into a walking dreamscape.
This workshop is ideal for artists, designers, and curious makers who want to expand their sculptural language and explore how theatricality, illusion, and fine craftsmanship can meet in a single piece of wearable art.
$595 per person. All Materials included. If you attended the fantastic flowers workshop the pieces can be combined.
