About
Vesna Pesic is a millinery artist and educator bringing years of experience in fashion to her practice. Vesna is dedicated to crafting poetical handmade headpieces that often lie between art and fashion. She is concerned with questioning the traditional use of materials and the accepted concepts of beauty. Her work is underpinned by historical research into hats as status symbols. Vesna’s creative process consists of meditative practice that is open to possibilities and free of predeterminations. By continually using offcuts or repurposed materials, her creative process has an additional constraint, that informs sustainable design development.
Vesna seeks to express complex thought through abstract forms, continuously pursuing to break the illusions and reveal the truth. She creates sculptural pieces by mixing traditional millinery craftsmanship with other disciplines.
Vesna is an enthusiastic and approachable educator who loves to encourage all to explore their creativity with confidence and self-belief.
