Jo Blaker

Jo Blaker is a visual artist whose holistic drawing practice combines playful material enquiry with a love of observation. Jo draws to see, think, feel & express & shares this practice with people of all ages.

Jo holds an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art & has been teaching for over 15 years. Natural forms, cycles, rhythms & their interconnectedness often inspire Jo’s work on paper & with people. As both a student & ‘teacher’ of drawing Jo’s ongoing exploration is a source for much reflection which she shares throughout her sessions as well as with wider audiences online.

    Mind Walk is the latest in an ongoing series of works exploring the idea of one continuous line circumnavigating a three-dimensional form in such a way that the line traverses the entire surface of the stone. The stone in this case is a granite boulder from Bavaria shaped by ‘onion skin weathering’ as a result of thermal and chemical erosion.
