About me

Lisa Halldén (Ragtale) is a journalist with a passion for storytelling. She went to school in London and although a big part of her heart remains in England, she has for many years been based in Sweden. As a journalist, her storytelling mainly revolves around news reporting in her local Stockholm area, but when thread is put to fabric, the scope widens.

About my work

About me

Jo Beazley was asked to participate in this project by a crafty friend—who subsequently pulled out—and still feels slightly ill at the thought of her work being shown alongside professional textile artists from around the world. Jo is a mum, wife, librarian, coffee addict, lover of all things shiny and tactile including technology, fabric, lipstick and flowers. And books! Don't forget books! She is a proud wearer of a pussy hat her friend knitted for her. Her grandmother went to her grave bemoaning the fact Jo could not knit, even though she can stitch and quilt.
