Project: Porkpie crown block and hat
Oct. 23rd, 2010 04:59 pmAt work, we're in tech for August Wilson's Fences and our costume designer, Helen Q. Huang, wanted a porkpie hat for the character of Lyons. Trouble is, we don't have a porkpie crown block in the correct size! However, that was not insurmountable.
Here's how my crafts assistant, first-year grad student Adrienne Corral, built up a crown block to create this great hat!
