We are delighted to announce that Helen Whittaker has been awarded an MBE for 'services to the creation and conservation of stained and architectural glass art' in the King’s Birthday Honours List.
Helen said 'to have the opportunity to do something you love, protecting the past and creating a future, is a joy in itself. To receive this MBE from King Charles, a great advocate for traditional art and craft skills throughout the U.K, is truly an honour. I am grateful to all of the people who have put me forward for this award and to the wonderful team at Barley Studio for their support over the past 25 years.'
