The Denton Hat

One of the community hats on the Hats Off To Denton Sculpture Trail in the window of Barnardo's charity shop. The Denton Hat is inspired by designs from the people of Denton. "Denton is amazing!" was shared with us many times as well as drawings of Denton West End Community Library, Denton Rock and of course, the town's iconic hat factories. Local artist Lizzie Rigby used ideas from these designs to create this hat, made by and for the Denton community. Lizzie is passionate about community art and is delighted to have designed and painted two hats for the Hats Off to Denton trail in her local community of Tameside.
