Open to the public, FREE entry 12.30-5pm no booking necessary

 

I am honoured to have become a Freeman member of The Worshipful Company of Plasiterers in 2025.

My involvement with the livery so far has enabled me to

  • Expand my network in the industry of people working in plaster, connect the disciplines

  • Create a sculptural piece of work for a special ceremony commissioned by The Plaisterers

  • Attend events at the largest Livery Hall in London such as the Annual Autumn dinner.

  • Become a Freeman of the City of London - a prestigious honor awarded to individuals for achievements in business, arts, or public life, with ceremonies held at the Guildhall

“Helen has brought a new enthusiasm for plaster and is championing it's use in a wide variety of art. her interests have expanded to encompass the wider techniques used in traditional plasterwork, which are threatened skills due to lack of use.‍ ‍

It’s inspiring to see how Helen is incorporating traditional methods in her work”

Tony Mitchell, Master of the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers 2024/5
