Many Hat Academy members recall their grandmother making hats and now it is their time to learn this Heritage trade. Miss Lauren has been wearing hats all her life and several years ago asked her grandmother to teach her. She loves going to church these days and seeing her hats standing out in the crowd. One of her customers took out the Fashions on the Field prize at Bowen in North Queensland. Lauren loves to play with loads of colour and an added flower. This block shape had its challenges but the result is a stunner!!  Nana Noela still keeps a watchful on on her progress and is very proud of Miss Lauren’s success.
