Group Hat-Making Experiences

A customer looking at items in the Nic & Maude store

A Nic & Maude group experience is part workshop, part celebration, and part creative escape. Your group will step into our Franklin shop, choose from a curated selection of ready-to-customize hats, and work with us to design and embellish each one.

Steam, shaping, stitching, silk, feathers, vintage pieces — this is the art of hat-making up close. It’s relaxed, personal, and unlike anything else you’ll do in Middle Tennessee.

Perfect for team outings, birthdays, creative retreats, and gatherings of friends who want to walk away with something meaningful.
