Each designer's collection is showcased for a month with 100% of net proceeds from sales going to the designer's charity of choice.' My chosen charity is Battersea Dogs and Cats home. Not only is my studio a stone's throw from their London site but I've also been a volunteer dog walker there and seen first hand the brilliant work they do. The cards are available here and there's an interview with me about the project here. If you'd like more information on Battersea and the Staffie campaign see their website.

Not only does it teach design, cutting and making skills it also encourages the creative use of an everyday material. I offer several workshops which can be brought into your school or workplace. These can be easily tailored to the age or experience of your group. I have run paper engineering workshops in schools, for award winning print company MOO.com and in collaboration with V&A 'Out of the Ordinary' Exhibition. Some of the crafters at MOO said: Paper workshops are great, it shows there’s more to paper than printing out pictures of cats! Sometimes it’s nice to take your eyes away from the monitor and channel your creativity on something physical. Papercraft is awesome! Listed below are the workshops I currently offer. If you would like to discuss these or commission a bespoke workshop please contact me at helen@helenfriel.co.uk. Pop-Up Cards Workshop (Two mechanisms) Two pop-up mechanisms are taught. Participants learn how to extend and customise these mechanisms using paper cutting skills. Different levels of complexity are available to cater for differing ages and levels of experience. Participants will leave with two custom made pop-up cards complete with handmade envelopes. Duration: 4 Hours Ages: 12 years + Number of participants: Max 12 Cost: £400 including teaching and materials Duration: 4 Hours Ages: 12 years + Number of participants: 13-20 Cost: £570 including teaching, an assistant and materials Pop-Up Card Workshop (One mechanism) One pop-up mechanism is taught.
