About Me
I am passionate about art and making things and I love having the opportunity to share my skills and help other people discover their creative side.
My Favourite Things
I like to experiment with all sorts of different arts and crafts and am easily seduced by shiny things! In particular I love knitting, crochet, tatting, stitching and pretty much anything involving fabric and buttons. I also love to draw and experiment with a range of unusual materials in my studio.
Area of Expertise
Textiles. As well as using textiles, and in particular stitch, in my art work I make a range of gifts, jewellery pieces and home items using a range of different textile and craft techniques including crochet, knitting, embroidery and printing.

North West England, South West Scotland, Cumbria, Dumfriesshire, Carlisle, Annan, Dumfries, Scottish Boarders

“We had a great time making a quilt at my sister’s hen do. Helen was lovely and approachable. The session was relaxed and very enjoyable, even for complete novices like me. Would definitely recommend to others.”
“We had a quilt making workshop at my best friends hen party this weekend. It was amazing! Helen was so knowledgable and supportive, the colours matched exactly what I’d asked for and it was just so nice. We all loved it, we can’t wait to see the finished quilt. I would 100% recommended a crafty hen workshop and I’d love to do another. Thank you so much”
