The Victorian Witch Hat
Hand Sculpted Heirloom Victorian Witch Hats
Art has always been a part of me and my life.  Aside from my love for drawing and the fine arts, I have been a hat maker and costume designer for over 20 years.  They beauty of the natural world is what inspires me when I create.
While creating elaborate Victorian hats for the stage play "Hello Dolly", I wondered what a witch hat would look like created in that same style.  The Victorian Witch Hat was born in 2013 and has been evolving ever since.  
The hats I create today are all sculpted and ruched by hand, taking between 6-8 hours just to complete this basic part of the hat.   You can recognize my hats by the unique stem at the top, my signature touch.
All of my hats are fully wearable, made with quality materials, vintage trims and treasures, making them one-of-a-kind, heirloom hats.
