Siobhan Barker - Mama Says Put a Hat ON!

Siobhan has been crocheting since girlhood, sitting at her aunt’s knee learning by watching and trying. West African Adinkra symbol influences are part of her original designs.

A bit about the artist-

I am a published fiction and non-fiction author, a single parent, life-long community activist and world citizen. I’ve toured different regions performing and public speaking to raise awareness and stimulate discussion in many diverse communities.

Also an accomplished bilingual singer and storyteller of Folklore, World Issues and Culture. My hats and other goodies tell a story of whimsy and warmth with the yarns often having journeyed globally before being woven into one of my original creations. Hats and their significance feature prominently in so many Cultures and their stories, many myths and fables.
