Helaina Sharpley Wirework Artist

Great website. Are you doing any adult workshops this year? I really love your work- the wire work is amazing.

Saw your fab work at the Made by Hand festival yesterday and haven't stopped smiling since Thank you !

Hi Helaina, it was lovely to meet you at Nostalgia Meets Design, great to have a natter and to be next to someone who is rather more on the same level!! Hope to see you again some time! Sara x

Spoons!

Saw your work today at Bovey Tracy. you were a clear favorite of mineand I would love to get hold of some of your work... fantastic!!!

Hi! I saw some of your pieces today at the Ferrers Gallery in Leicestershire. Your work is fabulous. It is so refreshing to see something so different.

I just wanted to say how beautiful I find your work, I recently applied to university to study fashion accessories and referencing your wire work within my jewellery testing and designs is helping me to get to grips with working with wire. Any tips? I could definately use some... ha! Also I've just started a blog and I've featured your work within one of my pieces, if you wanna check it out the URL is http://idlebutinspired.blogspot.com/ hope to hear from you :) xx

oh my, your art has totally re-inspired my faith in my A level art project XD my tutor has got me into wire work, and its alice in wonderland theme, recently its become something of a chore rather than a joy (partly because ive just got some thicker wire and keep stabbing myself XD) but your art is so elegant and in touch with your edwardian ispiration its really given me a boost so thankyou :) because what you do is excellent :) xx (p.s, you might be interested to know, there is a brands of tea called "mad hatters tea" - a taste of wonderland ! im 16 and its the first tea ive ever had and its REALLY nice :D you can get it from spital farm tearooms at staxton in north yorkshire near scarborough, or they might have a website.. either way, you should totally try it! :) thnx meg xxx)

hi! saw your work at the Brighton Art Fair and was blown away, especially by the college scene. so impressive

love your stuff. Have you thought about approaching some architects for commisions? I have a friend in London and another in Derby, both architects who Im sure would love your stuff. oh, and love you too, your quite lovely!

Hi Helaina,

You are modest for your talent. The website is impressive and am sure you will be among the very best. Keep it going. TC

A friend of mine saw your work exhibited recently and recommended you immediately! Wonderful pieces....and a lady after my own heart- I own about 30 cake stands, the majority vintage, and collect vintage tea sets, and use any excuse to knock up somes cakes and get the girlies round! Lovely!

Saw your work at Knutsford and absolutely loved it! If you ever need any PR work give me ashout! But seriously ... you should team up with Emma Bridgewater and take the world by storm!

Best wishes,

Rachael Anne Hill

Hiya Helaina - just got your website off your Dad Mark - really good web site and I will try to get to the Edge Gallery at Lancaster this weekend. How do you find the time to exhibit in all the places that you do? Busy girl I would say. Lots of love to you and all the best in your wire works.

love Aunty Ann

hi there, we visited your stand at the Design Show in Liverpool. Just wanted to say I love your work and it is even more stunning in 'real life'. Good luck with the website and your work! best wishes Nicola

Hi Helaina - I saw your work at the Liverppol Design Show at the weekend. I really enjoyed seeing your work, although it's intricate and complicated, it has a lovely uncomplicated happy feel to it. I will reserve a place for a piece in my new kitchen (when it's built several years from now!). Good Luck with everything, Jude

Hello, saw your stall at the Liverpool Design Show today and just wanted to say that I am really impressed. Great work.

Hello, found you through the Design Show web-site. I am also exhibiting. Come and say hello! There are about four of us working in wire in various different forms.
