Helen Riddle Textile Artist

Great to see Headstock in its new home at Tileyard North!
Thanks to all the team for making this happen,



Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills

We’re so lucky to have been gifted ‘Headstock’ by Helen Riddle to showcase onsite at Tileyard North.

For substantial periods in our development, Rutland Mills (now Tileyard) operated as a worsted spinning mill; Headstock echoes this important part of its history.

Helen is a Wakefield-based artist working in textiles and mixed media. Headstock originally formed part of her solo exhibition, The Doffer and the Fancy: Reimagining the Machine at Leeds Industrial Museum in 2019 which celebrated different aspects of textile mill machinery.

Thanks again, Helen 🫶

Only a week to go until the glorious Festive Market at The Hepworth Wakefield and, to celebrate, I’ve added Tileyard North to my collection of stitch sketches.
Come and join us all in these beautifully restored, iconic mill buildings on Friday 22nd Nov 7pm-9pm, Saturday/Sunday 23rd/ 24th November 10am-4pm.
This will be my last Festive Market (and your last chance to buy from me!) so do come along and say hi!

Taking inspiration from the glorious autumnal colours in my garden and looking forward to The Hepworth Wakefield Festive Market at Tileyard North on 23rd-24th November 10am-4pm!
Great news, too, that the market will also be open on Friday 22nd, 7pm-9pm so hope to see you there!
