Hats for Health

Mind your head - and have fun!

In 2004 Senior Momentum organised a hat-making workshop in partnership with a Hobart knitting group and the Cancer Council Tasmania, with funding from the Tasmanian Regional Arts Fund. Hosted by the Education Department, this was a follow-up workshop to a textile fibre forum held in Geelong, Victoria.

About fifteen people attended, and worked with Melbourne milliner Waltraub Reiner to create stylish and colourful broad-brimmed hats.

Some of their creations appeared in the Fashion Fantasia, Wearable Art and Art to Wear Awards at Wrest Point Casino in November 2004.
