CUSTOM HAT WORKSHOPS

Each Spring and Fall, Cate hosts intimate Build Your Own Custom Hat Workshops in her workshop nestled on her Organic farm in Central Oregon. 

Sign up here for Cate's very intermittent newsletters with updates when custom orders reopen, Build Your Own Custom Hat Workshop opportunities, and dispatches from the workshop. I rarely send out newsletters and do my best to only send content that will add value to your life, not spam you with advertising.

Newsletter subscribers will be the first notified when the limited commission spots are restocked here on the website. 

A Moral Dilemma with Social Media: Where do we go from here?

We all know, marketing can be used for good and bad, the difference now is that marketing doesn’t just come in obvious forms of magazines, television ads, billboards and product labels.
