Helenka Boden
Helenka is a designer and maker based on the South Coast. She previously worked in Television Production, before deciding to venture into jewellery and silversmithing, graduating from Birmingham School of Jewellery in 2024.
Inspired by armour, mythology and nature, Helenka can often be seen with her camera and sketchbook in hand to capture the textures, forms and colours that spark her imagination.
With a particular interest in lighting, layers and shadows, Helenka aims to create decorative as well as practical sculptural vessels, jewellery and object d’art that are full of dimension and depth, with hidden surprises when closely observed.
Interested in combining modern technology with heritage craft skills, Helenka’s main affinity is with chasing and repoussé. She is currently experimenting by using chasing and repoussé for stone setting, to add subtle colour to vessels. She is also developing her engraving skills for additional detail.
