Artist statement:
Sustainable Upcycled Hats
I have a passion to make and design hats. I love to make hats to not only serve a purpose in their usage but also to make an impact in our world. In the world today we consume and produce so much waste materials. These materials generally end up at waste landfills which add to the current global warming issues of today.
My inspiration to create unique hats of various styles from upcycled/repurpose materials happen due to my interest to solve the problem with waste accumulation and reduce waste.
I sew and block each hat by hand and use a variety of hand sewing, and machine stitching. I make all hats from scratch which starts with a design concept, drafting a flat pattern for pieced work and or a free form hat design.
My goals are to create hats and accessory lines from recycled / repurpose jewelry, clothes, fabric scraps, plastic and other materials for all occasions.
It's my desire to continue creating hats and other fashions lines to suit the needs of my customers and make our community a better place to live.
