- HATalk Issue 103: Bridport Hat Festival
Description
I was inspired by the Festival, I wish we had a hat festival here in the United States. That's what inspired me. The fact that theres a place where people can go to celebrate headwear. The making & design of the Joshua Tree hat was inspired by a place I think would be nice to have a festival. A place where I grew up in Southern Calif. Joshua Tree.
