Woody & Blue
About
Woody and Blue were established by artist Haroun Ray, with an academic background in both mixed media arts and architecture.
He was looking for a new direction in his career, where he could draw on his academic background but also get close to my materials in a time-established craft. He chose millinery as the one.
In 2013, after an amazing introduction from master milliner Karen Shanon and a full year under her studying contemporary millinery, and second-year with master milliner Sarah Lomax, he found his profession.
He sticks to old school couture techniques with lots of needle and thread to create unique hats for the occasion.
He loves to use the best materials available and collaborate with other independent business. He doesn't believe in seasonal hats, he loves the infinity way to create art to wear that is forever.
