Tracy Chaplin

Whilst living out in France Mandy has learnt how to felt and has created her designs that you may have seen in the shop. Mandy learnt how to master this technique with the help of Tracy Chaplin, an artist is so many talents also living out in the south of France.

Tracy Chaplin is a Milliner who has an interesting and varied background, she attended the Royal Ballet School, has worked in the fine art field and has also practiced and taught Alternative Medicine.
Tracy Chaplin has created and run courses in Felted Textiles and it is here that Mandy met her. Tracy has attended a millinery course with Rose Cory, Royal warrant holder and milliner to the Queen Mother alongside creating her own designs and selling them in boutiques all over the world.

She is busy creating designs for our Competition finale and fashion show, very exciting times but here is a sneak peek at some of her early designs
