Meet Helena Marette...A Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event Artist


Helena Marette is one of the 3rd Annual Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event artists. She created a unique rot iron and fabric, heart chair. This unique chair would be a great addition for any living room or bedroom.

Helena Marette is an accomplished fiber & metal artist with a diversified list of achievements. During the 1990s Helena moved to Georgia where she became an avid creator of recycled artwork, Metalsmith, and fiberartist.

In 2004, she was chosen to demonstrate both, her felting and jewelry techniques in the HGTV show “Crafters Coast to Coast”. Episode: HCC2 C-156. Broadcasting this newfound felting medium to a worldwide HGTV audience certainly helped propel the art form to the enormous popularity it currently holds.

Helena's artwork was published in Candie Cooper’s book: Felted Jewelry - released by Lark Books in Spring 2007. Helena participates in dozens of annual festivals and art shows around the Metro Atlanta area. She has also been featured in several magazines and periodicals, and currently exhibits at boutiques and galleries.

Come out to the Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event on November 30 from 5:00-7:30pm to view and bid on Helena’s rot iron and fabric chair as well as chairs and works of art created and painted by other local artists. Tickets are $25 and maybe purchased at the door or in advance by calling 770-703-2636. The Chair-ity Event is an annual affair hosted by local business leaders including Congressman and Mrs. Lynn A. Westmoreland. All proceeds will help the children who live at Christian City have a wonderful Christmas.
