Helen is our resident tutor who takes most of the weekly and monthly classes in Patchwork, Bagmaking, Lacemaking and Candlewicking.

She has had a needle in her hand for as long as she can remember and she annoyed her needlework teachers by skipping the tacking bit!

She qualified in London in Retailing and Textiles but began patchwork when she lived in the USA.

She is always looking to bring new ideas and techniques to the classes and mistakes are deftly turned into design features!
