Looking for things to do on the Gold Coast that are creative, social, and a little different?
In this Custom Burned Hat Workshop, you’ll design and personalise your own felt fedora using a wood-burning tool. This beginner-friendly experience is fully guided and designed for people who want to unwind, get creative, and enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere — no experience required.
Each participant receives one fedora-style felt hat. The style is fixed, but the hat is unisex and adjustable in size, making it suitable for a wide range of head sizes. You’ll also be able to choose from a large range of colours to suit your personal style.
To make the experience comfortable for everyone, you can freestyle your design or use a transfer to map it out first — perfect if freehand drawing feels intimidating. You’ll be guided step-by-step throughout the workshop so you can focus on enjoying the process.
