1. Tell my readers a little bit about yourself.
I’ve been making hats since 1995. I studied under Waltraud Reiner, in Melbourne, Australia. Almost 4 years ago I opened a retail store in an historic city on the Atlantic Ocean–Wilmington, North Carolina

3. Who is the Jan Wutkowski client?
She’s confident, with some money to throw around on herself; she’s stylish without being a fashion fiend. Anywhere from mid-20′s to mid-70′s; she’s one-of-a-kind!
