Jo Hague

Jo is a textile designer from Cornwall. She designs and makes 3D sculptural wall and hanging installations for indoor and outdoor sheltered spaces within commercial and residential environments.

She repurposes discarded industrial plastics and at times will combine them with 100% organic wool felt to transform into hand crafted artworks. Materials are sourced from local scaffolding companies, garden centres, supermarkets and coastal erosion projects. Once sourced, they are cut and washed in rainwater. The drying process is done outdoors and then rolled up to store. Once a piece of work is designed, it is machined using threads made from recycled plastic bottles. She enjoys the element of surprise each time she explores the materials which add to the relationship between herself and the equipment that she uses within her processes.

Inspiration for each piece of work is taken from Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly’s natural environment which achieves beauty and functionality. Jo’s approach to her craft is slow and mindful with minimal colours and textures to bring about a sense of curiosity. Her work is unique and is intended to create aesthetically pleasing textiles that cast shapes and patterns within the shadows either with natural or artificial light.

Jo's work portrays a sense of simplicity, calmness and balance.
