Catherine Povey is a Welsh milliner who lives and works in her native South Wales. However, demand for her unique pieces extends around the world.

Catherine's inspirations are many and varied - the natural world, social interactions and the arts have provided the sparks for works in the past. Each piece is unique and hand-crafted combining traditional millinery methods and modern creative techniques. Catherine uses time honoured materials such as straw and felt but actively embraces less traditional textiles.

In June 2009 Catherine's design and millinery credentials were recognised when she secured a place in the final of a prestigious millinery competition at Royal Ascot. Catherine beat thousands of entrants worldwide to make the final which was judged by international milliner Louis Mariette.

Catherine's work can be viewed and purchased through the website and by personal appointment at her studio in Penarth, near Cardiff, where she lives with her husband and three sons.
