I love hats. Always have done. I have a vast collection and have rarely been spotted without one since about birth.
I started making hats just over two years ago when I noticed the gap between the hats I wanted and the hats I could get had grown alarmingly wide~ when in doubt, DIY.
Not to mention, I’ve always been mad as a hatter anyhow. Might as well learn the trade.

I love being an actor and I’m very lucky to do what I do for a living.
But it occurred to me one day that show business is necessarily very collaborative~ takes at LEAST a village, usually more than one to bring a script to the screen.
Where then, is that original spark of madness? That blinding flash of inspiration that sent the writer screaming from her bed to her keyboard in the middle of the night,
bursting with a story that simply MUST be told?
By the time I get a script it’s gone through so many hands, I would venture that often that spark is all but gone. As Ricky Gervais reminds us; “a camel is a horse, designed by committee,”

So millinery is the way I’ve chosen to say exactly what I mean. From my head to yours, they are an undiluted creative expression; lovingly hand made by me.

Hats are wondrous things. You can use a hat to explain yourself without ever opening your mouth. A hat can draw people to you or keep them at bay…
and sometimes you just don’t feel like doing your hair.

And in such a scary world, a dash of glamour cheers you up.
Go on. Why not?
The sky is falling; put on a hat.
