About
Hely Handmade, founded by Helen, is a unique brand that encapsulates the beauty of nature and the ocean through meticulously crafted jewellery, home decor, and accessories. Each piece is a testament to Helen's deep-rooted passion for the natural world, inspired by her experiences and connection to the environment. Growing up with a love for the outdoors, Helen's journey took a transformative turn after a life-altering accident at the age of ten. This incident not only impacted her health but also shaped her creative expression. Despite the challenges posed by her condition, Helen found solace in crafting, allowing her to channel her love for nature into tangible creations that resonate with like-minded individuals.
The essence of Hely Handmade lies in its diverse offerings, which reflect Helen's multifaceted approach to art and design. With a focus on nature and ocean themes, each item is thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of tranquillity and connection to the earth. Helen's journey through health struggles has imbued her work with a sense of resilience and authenticity, making her products not just decorative items, but also symbols of hope and creativity. As she continues to navigate her health needs, Hely Handmade serves as a platform for Helen to share her story and connect with a community that appreciates the beauty of nature-inspired art. Through her participation in craft fairs, she has fostered meaningful relationships, further enriching her creative journey and the impact of her work.
Hely Handmade is not just a solo endeavour; it is a family affair radiating warmth and togetherness. Helen collaborates closely with her talented family members, each bringing their unique flair to the brand. Her sister, a gifted artisan in her own right, crafts indulgent soy wax melts that capture the essence of calm and relaxation. Meanwhile, Helen’s mother dedicates her skills to knitting cosy baby hats, generously donating many to local maternity hospitals in Lincolnshire, while Helen sells a few to support her mother’s ongoing passion for knitting.
She aims to become more environmentally friendly along the way of our journey.
