Greetings cards are where much of my product selling into shops and galleries began, with my first retail sale being to the Tate Modern shop.

They provide an opportunity for me to try out new designs and meet new shops and galleries. When I sell them in fairs and shows, people tend to smile and laugh which pleases me no end.

I am a strong believer in the  'Just A Card' campaign.  The campaign 'aims to encourage people to buy from Designer/Makers and Independent Galleries  and Shops by reinforcing the message that all purchases, however small, are so vital to the prosperity and survival of small businesses'. Do take a look at the website for further details.

My cards are printed in the UK onto high quality white textured card from a sustainable forestry source and they come packaged with a recycled kraft envelope in cellophane.  All cards measure 150 x 105mm and are blank inside. 

Please contact us for wholesale information or buy cards online with free post and packing.

These are my first collection of tea towels, all printed on a 100percent crisp cotton in co-ordinating khaki's and dark oranges. The designs take inspiration from a trip I made to Barcelona, a wonderful city full of bold pattern.  I visited the Ramblas and admired the metal street furniture, made sketches of Joan Miro's little abstract birdy shapes at the Miro museum and generally felt very inspired to create.

My digital prints are a new range.  I make two types of prints, these ones and Giclee prints.  Whilst my giclee prints are made to order on an archival fine art paper, these I order in small batches which keeps the costs lower.  They have lovely rich colours and look great in many shop bought standard frames or poshed up with a larger mount - your choice! Each is signed in pencil.

Jo Angell won first prize in a competition set by the British wallpaper company Graham and Brown to 'Design a collection of innovative wallpapers with a focus on sustainability'.  The final collection, produced by Graham and Brown, are based on the Bittern, a bird who's reedbed habitat is seriously under threat from rising sea levels. The designs are drawn with pen and ink with a hand crafted feel.

Jo was invited to create a canopy based on her innovative laser-cut designs for the RHS Chelsea Flower show. Award-winning designer Jo Thompson designed the garden and wanted a shaded sculptural seating area. Matching cushions were also designed by Jo Angell.

The garden won a covited gold medal and 'Best Urban Garden'

The Hornsey Gasholder collection is a graphic print inspired by a Victorian gasholder in Hornsey, close to Jo's studio.  You can read more about this classic structure which was sadly dismantled in the summer of 2016 on the blog.

Jo was commissioned to design a collection of contemporary wallpapers inspired by Victorian and Edwardian church embroideries held in the company's archives.

Watts of Westminster are a traditional wallpaper and textile company established in 1874.

As part of the body of work Jo created for the Hasler Gallery in 2014, she created a collection of Digital Art Giclee prints.  The prints are inspired by Jo's interest in the relationship of the urban environment with nature. Art deco shapes from a hidden high street building combine with ginkgo leaf patterns to create a graphic layered print.  Read more about the inspiration on Jo's blog

The prints are limited editions of 30.

Jo was selected to create a body of work alongside artist Katie Horwich for a new gallery in North Finchley, the Hasler Gallery.  The inspiration for the work came from visits to view early twentieth century textile designs and katagami stencils at The Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture (MoDA) and interpreting these finds through local Finchley landmarks. 

Jo was invited to show a laser cut wood and polyproplene canopy at the exhibition 'Embracing Technology', in Kilkenny's Crafts Council of Ireland gallery. The canopy was part of her 'Solar Sanctuary' conceptual design which used a double layered modular structure which is designed to cast interesting patterns when light passes through patterned shapes from above.

Created as a prototype, the Solar Screen is designed to grow to the size and shape required to provide a temporary screening device.

A5 notebooks feature a variety of patterned and colourful designs, all with a midcentury nod of nostalgia. The covers are printed on thick high quality matt board and inside there are 40 pages of smooth white paper. All printed on papers from responsible sources.  

Available soon from the online shop

The leaf flow design has a midcentury modern feel using a hand drawn and painterly technique in bold colours.

Jo created a large scale laser cut light diffusing installation piece during London Design Festival with DesignersBlock in Covent Garden.

Jo created a collection of models and experimental modular structures for her final masters project at Central St Martins.  Designed with reference to geometric forms in nature they act as light diffusing surfaces which can be enlarged by adding more shapes.

I will be exhibiting with 15 London Artists within this very special art deco gem of a building. The silk banners previously created in collaboration with the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture and shown in the Hasler Gallery, will be suspended in Hornsey Town Hall's Committee room alongside a host of varied and interesting artwork. Read about the original project inspiration.
