about Jo

I had always enjoyed making things but just never had the time…

After 30 years teaching, we decided to take the plunge, sold up and moved aboard our floating home; a beautiful Dutch Barge - Elessina. Permanently moored on the beautiful, Gloucester and Sharpness Canal overlooking the River Severn and Forest of Dean.

Now I had more time, the creativity began… First baking, cake decorating and jam making. Along with sewing; soft furnishings, upholstery and memory bears.

Then I discovered glass art and loved it! After a couple of courses to develop my skills, I started to make gifts for friends. Soon I was being asked to make things to order and local outlets began selling some of my creations.

Others asked if they could have a go, so using my teaching skills, ~I began to offer workshops across the Gloucestershire area. You too could discover a whole new passion.
