About Josie...

​

My love for crafting began out of necessity as a mum on a budget, I quickly learned how to sew, knit, and create magic from limited resources. From stitching school jumpers and handmade gifts to throwing imaginative parties with whatever materials I could find, creativity became part of everyday life.

​

Over time, that resourcefulness grew into a lifelong passion and career. I’ve worked on heritage and tourism events across North Wales, designing period costumes, props, and seasonal displays  from giant spiders and 10-foot gingerbread men to a full-sized Tyrannosaurus rex, festive grottos, and towering themed Christmas trees. Every project reminded me how much joy and wonder creativity can bring.

​

Even as a child, I loved nothing more than turning an Easter egg box into a tiny theatre , and honestly, not much has changed! Crafting has always been my peaceful place, my way to slow down and reconnect.

​

Now, through my classes at Crafts with Jo, I get to share that same joy with others. Watching people relax, laugh, and rediscover their creativity, leaving with a smile, a sense of pride, and maybe a little bit of glitter....is what it’s all about for me.
