About Helene
Founder of Crafty Hands
I set up Crafty Hands - Ateliers & Playgroups in 2015 as I wanted to have a place where I could share my passion for sewing with other mums who like me had small children! I wanted a nice & cosy place where mums could sew, knit and chat together whilst the children play happily next to them. Since then, Crafty Hands has grown into a place where children can also craft, sew and even celebrate their birthday! It is also a place where adults, mums & dads could meet up to practice speaking german or learn a new craft such as my lovely 'sewing' and knitting, crochet, origami, upcycling an old garment or an old furniture... and many more!! In the past two years I had the chance to meet with some amazing and talented crafters, organisations and companies that I would definitely recommend to everyone!
