Jo Sweeting is a sculptor, lettercarver and printmaker, whose work is informed by the Buddhist concept of ‘shul’, a marking which remains after the thing that made it has passed through. After studying Fine Art and Sculpture at Leeds Art School, Jo began working in stone. She learned to carve at the Skelton Workshop, the home of the late John Skelton, nephew of and apprentice to Eric Gill. Working chiefly with found and quarried British stone, Jo’s lapidary art is in constant dialogue with the natural world, allowing herself to be led by the organic form of the material. Her work often takes on themes of language, time and place, with a fondness for dialect. Jo loves reading and writing every day, and has a book being published in 2024 with the publisher, Little Toller.
