Jo Woolley is an Australian textile designer and artist, working in her hometown of Meanjin Brisbane.

With a background in commercial textile design and a lifelong engagement with art, Jo is now building a body of work rooted in material exploration, texture, and storytelling. She enjoys experimenting with new techniques andd working across disciplines.

The natural world, particularly the marine environment is a constant source of inspiration in Jo’s work. Her creative process often begins with a sense of awe and wonder, which she explores through form, material, and narrative.

Sustainability and material impact are central to Jo’s practice. She is excited by the potential of new materials and how they can be used in more thoughtful, responsible ways. She believes artists and designers have a responsibility to reduce harm and rethink how we work and make and she is actively working toward more sustainable approaches within her own practice.
