helen edwards is a mixed media textile artist based in South Devon working from her studio in the small ancient wool town of Chudleigh. 

 

Influenced by the creativity of her Belgian mother and grandmother, helen acquired textile skills, an appreciation of colour, natural materials and a love of the outdoors, all at a young age.

 

After 21 years working as a speech and language therapist for the NHS, helen retrained in B-tech level 3 Art and Design and a Foundation degree in Integrated Craft, gaining distinctions in both. This training allowed her to amalgamate skills in art and design, photography, ceramics, metals and textiles.

 

Using textile techniques, helen works with various materials including paper, ceramic, natural fibres and metals, to create both functional pieces and more unusual exhibition pieces. 

 

Each piece made is designed and constructed entirely by helen.

From 2025 helen will focus her making based on the principles of the Green Maker Initiative.
