2018 HATalk Competition Entry

Ella Jackson-Walley

Ella Jackson-Walley – Australia

Priscilla

Category: Traditional

Description

Fusion is exactly that when it came to creating my hat “Priscilla” for I have laboriously felted fine wool into raw silk until the fibres of the wool actually penetrate the fabric to show on the other side, two mediums becoming one. After felting the pods and stems I left loose fibre to extend down onto the silk fabric which was then felted in to the main body of the hat.

  • traditional highly slubbed dupion silk
  • fine merino wool
  • wire
  • ribbed rubber tubing
  • shape and sew inner lining

Techniques
