Silverhill Creative
Meet the Maker
Silverhill Creative Millinery is a one-woman millinery studio located in Vermont.
Hi, I'm Kristin Silverman — the designer and owner behind Silverhill Creative Millinery.
Since establishing Silverhill Creative Millinery in late 2012, I have sold my hats to customers across the United States, and to Canada, Israel, the UK, Australia, Norway, and Hong Kong.
Primarily self-taught, I have also learned from renowned international millinery instructors at Millinery Meet-Up and online at Hat Academy.
I work out of my studio in Vermont, creating one-of-a-kind hats and headpieces completely by hand, using traditional millinery techniques.
Silverhill Creative specializes in unique and artistic hats in everyday, easily wearable shapes, such as fedoras, berets and cloches. Hats sold in the online shop are in stock and ready to ship.
My hats have long featured hand embroidery and beading. In 2024, I will also be offering embroidery and bead art as standalone art pieces not on hats.
How it’s Made
♦ CONTENT and CONSTRUCTION: ♦
The straw was blocked by hand on wooden hat blocks. The brim edge is wired to hold its shape.
The straw is a vented Panama in shades of olive green, mustard yellow and tan. The crown has a band of wide brown grosgrain ribbon with a pleated finish on the left side and a trio of coque feathers. Ombre embroidery thread in greens, yellow and brown runs along the band.
Inside is unlined and has a cotton/rayon head-size ribbon and Silverhill Creative Millinery brand label.
♦ THE STUDIO: ♦
This is a one of a kind hat, designed and created exclusively by me for Silverhill Creative Millinery. 100% hand made in my Vermont millinery studio. All hats are made using traditional, couture millinery techniques (i.e. hand-sewn, no glue used ever, etc.).
