Promoting de-junk through Festival of Firsts

My banner to advertise de-junk show made with all the labels from the Welly Road gets the Boot in project - from all the flowers with bunting made of bouncy castles, vinyl aprons and flowers of toothpaste tubes and plastic strapping, two pouches for leaflets made from a plastic bag from a safety vest and a boots the chemist beauty bag from Erica Wilcox, nothing thrown away! Lots of stuff used from my Granny's sewing box.
Banner donated from Barbara Singleton via Derry Hunter and letters glued on with help from Gill Alleyne. 

 

Jo Smith from Hoylake

Before red and the top shows the start of the transformation

Jo is a mixed media artist and jewellery designer using both traditional and non-traditional materials.

Jo’s inspiration mainly comes from her daily walks on West Kirby beach with her beloved dogs. Her approach has evolved over time, through constant experimentation and play with mixed media. The results are a colourful and textural rendering of her emotional response to her surroundings reflecting the joy, love and awe that Jo feels through her connection to the landscape.

For the last 10 years Jo has exhibited widely across Merseyside, and her many commissions of paintings hang in homes across Europe and as far as Australia. Jo has a B.Ed Hons in Art and Design and is a practicing counsellor with a Diploma in Art Therapy skills. You can find her at Seagrass Studio Gallery by Hoylake Train Station where she is artist in residence.
