About Jo

I worked as a woven fabric designer in the commercial fashion industry for over 18 years. Later transitioned away from large industrial production to focus on slow, mindful crafting using rigid heddle looms, and back strap weaving looms.

I make handmade woven goods, soft accessories like handwoven scarves, neck warmers lined with brushed cotton, plant-pot pincushions, and small woven furniture (such as footstools/footrests).

Workshops & Teaching, I regularly runs beginner-friendly and intermediate weaving workshops across Bristol. My workshops offer a variety of weaving classes using back strap looms. I truly believe in the mental health and relaxation benefits of tactile, slow crafting.

I frequently participate in local artisan markets around Bristol and small yarn fairs.
