Short Description: |
Peet makes felt hats and garments. |
|
Description: |
Peet has her own methods for working with felt, building up layers by stitching and then putting together the whole article (though much larger) using the different qualities of the materials to give its finished form, colour and texture. The article is then washed, sometimes with dyes, to shrink and meld the fibres. After washing, the hats are stretched by feet, hands and head, an operation not for the faint-hearted. The hat band is the governing factor in the size of the hat, and the versatility of the felt enables small alterations in size to be made. Peet is inspired by colour and by form, an awareness instilled by her mother from an early age. She welcomes individual interest and takes pleasure in relating her designs to her customers. If you would like to speak to her we shall be pleased to put her in touch. |
