Artist Statement

Helen is a Birmingham based book  artist (whose family live in Wirksworth) who’s passionate about handmade books. She uses traditional and modern methods of binding with high quality and function in mind. Her unique book cover designs are mixed media coupled with amusing quotes. Many of her books are made with beautiful contemporary papers. No two books are the same so it means you end up with a unique, quirky hand made book.
