Group Hat-Making Experiences

A Nic & Maude group experience is part celebration, part creative escape and personalized bespoke experience. Your group will step into our Franklin shop, to measure, size, and design your one of a kind hat that we will build and curate to your specifications.

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.
