# Jo Horswill
*Nature-inspired natural dyer, printmaker, and educator*

Jo Horswill is a nature-inspired artist, natural dyer, printmaker, and educator based in Sassafras, a small village nestled in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, Australia. Her studio, Paper Cloth Studio, is surrounded by majestic forests of eucalyptus trees, a constant source of inspiration for her work. Drawing on the materials she gathers on daily walks through the forest, Jo's practice is deeply rooted in the relationship between place, plant, and process.

Jo's passion and expertise lie in various printmaking techniques, including Botanical Contact Printing, Collagraph Printmaking, Mono Printing, and Experimental Cyanotype, all of which inform her artist books, textiles, prints, and collages on paper. In 2021, she released a highly successful online workshop, Botanical Contact Printing on Paper, and has since published the eBook "Creative Colorful Cyanotypes."

Years of experience facilitating workshops for community-based organizations guided Jo to naturally progress into art-based workshops of her own, leading to the opening of Paper Cloth Studio in 2014. Since 2024, Jo has traveled to Italy, Japan, and across Australia to teach art retreats.
