About JOGD (Jo George Designs)

JOGD (Jo George Designs)

Jo - Cambridgeshire based illustrator/embroiderer with a lifelong love of 1960s Vespas, 1970s soul music and the 1980s Mod scene.

Originally from London, I am now based in Cambridgeshire. I am a history postgraduate with a background in museum conservation and professional historical research work [along with a 10 year stint in a record shop]. Whilst studying at the Royal School of Needlework, I found myself focusing and enjoying the design and drawing bit more so than the stitching bit. I still love both bits but nowadays tend to have a pen rather than a needle in my hand.

I have been very lucky to work with some amazing teachers and have undertaken studies in professional French beading and sequin techniques as well as professional design work from the designers who have created costumes for shows at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. I have also undertaken training in the traditional art of tambour embroidery with Lesley Coidan and Diana Vernon in London (www.couturebeading.com) and trained with the wonderful Hand and Lock Embroidery School [producing work since 1790] in London.

All items in the shop are designed and hand printed and hand signed by me.

    I absolutely love this embroidered version of my little girl - it’s displayed proudly on our fireplace and visitors never fail to comment on it. The likeness is amazing! Fantastic quality and so original. Thanks so much Jo!
