"Rug tufting is the perfect artform for me. I love to paint canvases and the tufting gun is just an extension of my brush. My aim is to provide clients with work which is distinctly different to that found on the high street, whilst keeping costs as realistic as possible. My approach has met favourably with the clients I've worked with - they've been delighted with the designs, the work and most importantly the cost."

Made-By Helen McKenzie is a small business dedicated to offering contemporary design in the form of hand tufted rugs and original canvas art. My vision is to always create something different - something to covet, cherish and talk about.

Whether its canvas art or a bespoke tufted rug, you can rest assured that each element of the make has been carefully planned and executed on site, using quality materials from local suppliers.

Since having graduated from Huddersfield University in 2001 with a BA Hons in Creative Textile Crafts, I have designed and made various commissioned rugs and paintings, as well as sold work in select outlets across Yorkshire.

"I just wanted to say thankyou so much for my daughters rug, it is beautiful! My husband and I are really pleased with it and so is my daughter more importantly! We love the design and the colours, it is perfect!"
