Meet Jo
About jo
Welcome — I’m Jo, the crafter, maker, and memory-keeper behind Creativity Restored. If we were sitting together now, I’d offer you a cuppa and a cosy chat, because that’s exactly how my creative journey began: around the kitchen table with my late mum. She was the one who handed me the scissors, the glue, and the confidence to explore my imagination. Her encouragement shaped everything I do today.
Crafting That Cares
Creativity Restored is built on simple but powerful values:
Warmth & Welcome
Sustainability
Creativity for Wellbeing
Accessibility
Encouragement
“My workshops are intentionally simple, low-cost, and rich in meaning. They’re designed to uplift, nurture, and inspire — whether you’re eight or eighty.”
Crafting for Every Generation
As a mobile craft business, I bring creativity directly to the people who need it most:
- Homes and birthday parties
- Schools and community hubs
- Retirement and care homes
- Workplaces and wellbeing events
This makes crafting accessible, familiar, and deeply personal. It’s “creative care for every generation” — a space where families bond, adults unwind, older adults feel valued, and children discover new skills that spark lifelong imagination.
Why “Creativity Restored”?
After 20 years in the corporate world, my creativity had been pushed aside. Starting this business brought it back to life — completely restored.
But the name holds a second meaning, too: it reflects my passion for restoring materials and giving them a second chance. I source many supplies from charity scrap stores, saving beautiful items from landfill and turning them into something meaningful. We don’t just craft — we create change.
