Hi, I’m Jo! I discovered my love of arts and crafts during lockdown, when I started experimenting with all sorts of creative hobbies. What began as a way to pass the time quickly grew into a real passion — I loved the sense of calm, focus, and joy that came from making something with my hands.
Outside of crafting, I’m an English and Drama teacher, so teaching is in my nature. Combining these two passions felt like the perfect fit — and that’s how my beginner-friendly workshops began. My goal is to bring people together in a fun, engaging way where they can relax, get creative, and connect with like-minded people. I love teaching because it's so incredibly rewarding seeing students proud of their creations at the end of a workshop! It really makes my day!
I love offering a wide range of workshops so there’s something for everyone — from candle making, macramé, and crochet, to painting, terrarium building, and more. Each class is designed to be beginner-friendly, welcoming, and social, so no one feels out of their depth. I have run public workshops as well as workshops for corporate clients and universities.
For me, it’s not just about learning a new skill — it’s about creating an experience. People leave with something handmade they’re proud of, but also with new friends, confidence, and (hopefully!) a spark to keep being creative long after the workshop.
