Hey! I’m Jo.
Like most people who live in Oxford, I wasn’t born here.
I have lived in several countries, I speak 4 languages, and for most of my life “on the road” was the best place to be.
I have made a home wherever I was, whenever I needed, again and again.
What is a home? A place + people + purpose.
All of this, and my inclination towards art and creativity, have inspired Kindred Handmade – which I think of more as a place than a business.
Kindred is the place where all the different lives I’ve lived continue to exist after I’ve moved on.
Some of what I make is free, some of it you can buy, but profit is not the goal – which is why this is not set up as a shop
It also doesn’t have a structure, a schedule or any other kind of logic so just have a look around, share your thoughts with me, and if you’d like to own something that I’ve made, ask: if I still have it, I’ll send it to you.
