Make Your Own Boater Hat! Live Online Bloomsday Workshop for Families by Chester Beatty
In honour of James Joyce and his iconic work, Ulysses, the Chester Beatty invites families to engage in a creative and sustainable craft activity: making your very own boater hat from recycled materials. Armed with cardboard, tape, and an array of decorative elements, you’ll have everything you need to fashion a personalized boater hat. Once they’re complete, share your masterpieces with us on social media!
