Helen’s Story: Rekindling a Passion
“I’ve always enjoyed creating,” Helen shares, “but over the years, life’s journey took
me in different directions. Several years ago, I attended a chalk painting workshop,
and I was hooked! It brought back wonderful memories of my past, teaching
ceramics.” This rediscovery led Helen to begin painting her own furniture and
selling pieces she found on marketplaces. Now, she has evolved into holding
workshops where she teaches painting techniques using smaller, custom-designed
and built wooden items. Helen is also committed to using low-toxic, water-based
paints, favouring Australian-made Hewbury paints.
Beyond painting, Helen’s other love is working with clay and bottle art, creating
unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Helen is passionate about holding workshops for those who think they cannot paint and
even more so the joy of watching students unwind from their busy lives and start to
get in the flow to create their own unique piece.
Helen D from HD Revamps is a talented artisan passionate about creating beautiful
unique items. Helen specializes in both up-cycling and creating from scratch,
bringing new life to old treasures and crafting unique pieces.
Over the past few years, Helen has been holding workshops teaching different
techniques using smaller, custom-designed and built wooden items on a regular
basis. With a background in ceramics and woodwork, Helen is excited to share her
creativity with you!
