Bridport Hat Festival 2017
Comment
Bridport Hat Festival takes place in Dorset at the beginning of every September, with part of the festivities being the Milliners and Hatters Open Competition. I was very happy that the above piece, 'Twist and Turn', was awarded a Highly Commended this year. The piece was made from a single striped wool hat felt, using a hand-carved hat block and trim of swirls, paying careful attention to the line-up and arrangement of stripes.
