Bio

Wildly Created

Born in the UK in 1981, Emma has lived in the south west of Ireland since 1990 with a few years spent in Spain.

For years I wanted to make hats and masks, I visited Venice and other Italian cities to see their incredible masks and that cemented even further my desire. After being away for a few years I returned to Ireland with my young son and the opportunity to begin the process of bringing my dreams to reality began. I have made jewellery and other items in the past and follow in the family tradition of being creative. Dozens of designs and ideas in sketchbooks were made. Paper patterns were worked on and over weeks and months, hats and fascinators started to take shape. Getting materials was challenging with lockdowns and Brexit, I found ways around them and gathered stocks of treasures. I leant various Japanese techniques and applied these across my range of accessories, both fashion and home décor.

I now have a beautiful array of feather flower fascinators and hairbands ideal for weddings and special occasions. Kanzashi flower decorated hats and sparkling decorations for all year round.
