| Introduction | I am a creative person. After working in industry and trying my hand at many mediums such as: picture framing, set painting, dress making, ceramics, photography, I started a Millinery course. And I was hooked. I make beautiful ladies and mens hats. Using traditional techniques. When possible I reuse materials. I breathe life into old heirlooms with family history recreating something both personal and contemporary. My creations are all individually hand-sewn, using felts, straws, silks and often trimmed with hand-crafted french silk flowers, vintage veiling, hand-dyed feathers, my own quirky crafted embellishments. I live in West Yorkshire. With my daughter, my partner, and our three cats. |
