Holiday Facilitators: Jo Morley

skill, experience, warmth

Biography

Jo Morley is an artist and printmaker. She takes her inspiration from seeing beauty in the ordinary and everyday, sometimes stylising and abstracting what she sees.

A qualified teacher and working artist with a 'portfolio' career, combining teaching and her own creative practice.

What people say about Jo and her courses:

Jo - lovely, gentle guiding / teaching / encouraging - great for all levels and offered guidance for improvement rather than just saying all is wonderful. So enjoyed learning this skill, thank you.

All the facilitators are excellent. Jo - so calm.

Lovely atmosphere the whole time..

Jo said 'you just do you'. Her whole course oozed that. Jo was amazing. Such a gentle and encouraging touch, guiding us away from old thought furrows into a new way of seeing and creating.

Jo Morley was first class! The art produced was the best I have ever seen in an Atsitsa art class. Jo's teaching style has inspired me to continue with lino cut and with art in all its forms.
