Jo Hill Textiles

Jo Hill Textiles: handmade textile art from the Bath countryside

Jo Hill Textiles is the studio of Jo Hill, a contemporary textile artist, designer and tutor based in the Bath countryside. All work is designed and made by Jo in her garden studio, and the studio states that every original textile piece is handmade by her in Great Britain. The practice combines textile wall hangings, lampshades, wall art and homewares with a distinctive colour palette drawn from nature and fine, detailed stitching.

Textile wall hangings and homewares inspired by British wildlife

The studio's output centres on textile wall hangings and interior pieces that interpret the countryside through luxury fabrics and delicate stitching. The signature style echoes the range of colours found in nature, with stitching used to explore the year-round details the countryside displays. The product range extends to lampshades, wall art and homewares, alongside handmade original cards, handmade brooches and earrings, and small mixed media work.

Online courses and workshops in free motion embroidery

Beyond finished pieces, Jo Hill teaches the technique of free motion embroidery through a unique range of online courses, sewing kits and live workshops. The site lists online courses, workshops, course materials, course products and templates among its offerings, and also allows customers to gift an online course. A gallery and a section of sold work document past pieces.

Artistic background and recognition

Jo Hill describes sewing as her absolute passion, beginning with little outfits for her teddy at around the age of five. She won several design awards at university and later sold her woven creations to Habitat, among other renowned places. She now concentrates on producing work she is passionate about, exclusively made by her.
