Helen will be showcasing her work in the 62 Group’s exhibition ‘Making as Learning’ at Salts Mill, Saltaire. The group will be celebrating their 62nd birthday year with their exhibition, set to take place in the iconic Salts Mill in Bradford. The theme invites artists to reflect on their creative processes, drawing inspiration from their personal archives—be it notes, samples, yarn wraps, dye recipes, film stills, journals, or sketchbooks. This exhibition explores the tangible and intangible qualities of the making process, questioning what can be learned from our methods as they evolve or disintegrate over time.

The exhibition is open: 8 September – 1 November 2024,

Philosopher and writer Alain de Botton has been interviewed for the latest issue of Elle Decor, where he discusses his interest in architecture in his North London home. The centrepiece of his beautifully designed living space is a hand-knotted Helen Yardley rug, Alep in his own customised choice of colours. Alep is a highly versatile and popular design, which can be either hand-knotted or hand-tufted. All of Helen Yardley’s designs can be customised by colour or size  in consultation with the studio.
