Jo Woffinden is a designer-maker and sculptor specialising in ceramics and concrete and has recently relocated to Leeds following 12 years working at her studio in London. She has spent time working and exhibiting internationally, including 4 years in Japan where she set up a studio between 2006 - 2009. Japanese influences have played a role in the development of her minimalist style and architectural referencing through the creation of bold yet simple and refined forms.
