HATMAKER

Chris’ creations line the walls, and there isn’t a surface without sewing machines, hat blocks, needles and threads, feathers, leather stamps, leather bands, beads, recycled cloth in his studio in Tin Can Bay… The more you look, the more you find. Moulded felts of all colours are piled high, waiting to be transformed into someone’s dream chapeau… and the dark, mysterious atmosphere of the whole studio transports you into another era, when craftsmanship and traditional techniques were at their height. Indeed, the studio feels as if it is hovering at the Crossroads of several centuries.
