Frequently asked questions
How long is each format?
Each format can be adapted to your event.
Both the Burning Hat Show and the Live Atelier Experience can be adjusted in length to fit your schedule, from a short live performance to a longer experience with more time for explanations and interaction with the audience.
Tell us about your event, and we’ll adapt the experience to fit it.
What is the Burning Hat Show?
A highly visual live show built on the traditional tools of the hatmaker's craft. Starting from raw materials, Genis Whylan shapes a hat from scratch in front of the audience, sharing along the way the stories and details behind the history of this trade.
What happens at the Atelier Experience?
An artistic exhibition made to be taken home. You browse a collection of hand-shaped hats, choose which accessories and details to add, and Genis finishes your personalization live. You leave with a piece tailored to you.
Can I book both experiences for my event?
Yes. Both experiences can be booked for the same event. We usually start with the Burning Hat Show, followed by the Live Atelier Experience, allowing guests to first watch the craft come to life and then create their own unique hat.
Do you offer wholesale for events?
Yes. We offer wholesale options for events, festivals and venues.
Hats can be ordered in volume and combined with a live show or atelier experience, giving your guests the chance to discover the craft firsthand.
