Stockport Hat Museum, Manchester, England. December 2015

 

I am now in my second year at University, CCAD Hartlepool one of our modules

is Millinery, so a group of us decided to make the trip to this museum

 

 

 

                                    Well worth the trip, the guided tour was very informative,
                             learning techniques that we used to make our hats for the module

                                                                          
                        This was our lovely guide, holding a wooden block which shapes a flat cap

 

 

Another wooden hat block

 

We then moved on to the collection of hats in their cases
