GATHER & CREATE

Get in on the Action.

At The Saltwater Sage Hat Company, we believe finding your Crown isn't a spectator sport—it’s a hands-on, hats-on experience. Whether you catch us down the coast or join us in the studio to stack the deck yourself, we invite you to pull up a chair and stay a while.

HAVE HAT, WILL TRAVEL

Catch us on the Coast.

When we pop up at a market or boutique, we bring the whole show with us. Look for the hats, the playing cards, and the good vibes to find our mobile setup.

The Draw:

  • The Fit: Don't gamble on online sizing. Feel the felt, test the weight, and let us guide you to the brim width that frames your face like a portrait.
  • The Mirror: Stand before our signature mirror and find your inner Mae West. It’s that moment you stop seeing a hat, and start seeing the Queen wearing it.
  • The Customization: Pick your band, add a feather for good luck, or ask for a quick steam to shape the brim right on the spot.

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS EXPERIENCE

Private Studio Workshops.

Grab your fellow Queens and step behind the curtain. Our private workshops are intimate, hands-on sessions held at our Lyman, ME studio, designed for those who want to try their hand at the craft. This isn't just a class, sugar; it’s a party.

The "Design & Adorn" Experience (3-4 Hours)
Perfect for bridal parties, team bonding, or a gathering of best friends.

  • The Deal: We kick things off with a welcome tea (or something stronger) and a group Tarot pull to see what energy we’re working with.
  • The Mechanics: Watch the steam rise as we demonstrate the blocking process. We'll show you how we use the antique Conformateur to map the landscape of the head—no guesswork allowed.
  • The Flair: You’ll select a pre-blocked felt or straw body and take the reins. Learn to steam, shape your brim, distress the felt with fire (if you’re feeling wild), and curate your custom band using our library of vintage ribbons, feathers, and stones.
  • The Payoff: You walk out wearing a Crown that you helped forge.

Private Workshop Details:

  • Group Size: Intimate groups of 2-6 makers.
  • Included: All materials, tools, light refreshments, and your finished hat.
  • Location: The Saltwater Sage Studio, Lyman, ME.
