Joanna Shepherd

I am Joanna, the textile artist behind Mrs Marvellous telling stories with textiles; celebrating special people, events and places. It is a privilege to work with beloved textiles that hold precious memories, creating pieces based on the stories shared. I listen carefully to the narrative, turning the words into a creative artwork; involving customers as much or as little as preferred. Whether it is a framed artwork, heirloom quilt, contemporary wall hanging or cushion the same amount of passion and care is bestowed upon it.
My work can use new cloth but is the ultimate in recycling using vintage and reclaimed fabrics, ensuring glorious preloved fabrics get a new life. I use techniques like applique, quilting and free motion embroidery which is painting with thread.
As a business with social purpose my work allows me to support those living with dementia. The memory pieces instigate conversation and provide a sense of identity and belonging. Supporting the community is also very important to me. As is my passion for the environment, I love that my work allows precious resources to be rescued. I am a Plastic Free Champion for Saltash and ensure that my business is ethical and responsible.
