Juliane Gorman [1984, Textiles]

I’m a feltmaker who create practical and fantastical hats for adults. Headwear styles include berets, cloches, top hats, fedoras, and wizard-style hats. In addition to my sculptural hats, I’ve developed a small line of felted cowls and scarves. Much of my inspiration comes from nature, with an accent towards whimsy. So, along with hats inspired by oak leaves, there are also hats inspired by dragons’ wings.

A Fun Fact about RISD Craft: Last year was my first time vending at RISD Craft. Also, it was the first time at a craft fair where I did not hear the ‘eternal question’ of “WHERE??? would you wear these hats????”
