Helen is a member of the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen and has sold her embroidered art work in local galleries, as well as online. She has completed several high profile commissions including one from the Royal Mail and also designs and sells her own range of embroidery kits, including the Hampton Court Palace Postcard available from the RSN Shop.
