About
All of my hats and headpieces are made using old fashioned millinery techniques and natural materials. Hats are hand-blocked at my home workrooms or at the museum giving me ultimate design control and quality over every piece. All of the pieces are hand-sewn and I find all of the trimmings myself from a wide range of natural and sustainable sources; such as friends with exotic birds vinatge and textile s from other craftspeople, the list is endless. I also try to avoid manmade materials as I find they date very quickly and do not have the same character as natural pieces."
I now take hatmaking lessons at Palace House museum in Newmarket as well as loan blocks to other would be hat makers Hat mkaing is on the Red List and its a passion to make more hatters than ever that can work from their own homes offering more choice to customers.
I want to set up an enviroment where people can come for residential courses and learn all sorts of crafts. To eat and drink together to help each other. To have a safe and beautiful place where others can come and purchase the crafts as well as see them been made.
