About the Artist - Shari Reid
My hats are my way of celebrating a life-long passion of creating with fibre and fabric. They feature re-invented vintage textile treasures, earth-friendly fibres such as hemp and organic cotton, 'upcycled' materials and sustainable processes.
The foundation of my work is created from the joyful connections found between threads and fabrics, style and function, artist and audience; between the present and the past and the lessons of my grandmothers; between the head, the heart, and the hands.
I produce two seasonal collections each year featuring 12 to 15 original designer styles. My designs are classic, modern, and reflect the prevailing mood of fashion. Each season there are fresh new styles added to the mix. Each hat is one-of-a-kind and made with great attention to detail. The highest quality construction methods and materials are used.
In addition to my schedule at the Granville Island Public Market, my 2010 collection can also be found at Comox's Filberg Festival on the BC Day long weekend, and in November at Vancouver's Circle Craft Christmas Market .
