Jo Taylor is a goldsmith and jeweller who lives just outside London. When she's not wielding hammers on precious metals, she's either in a life drawing class, meditating, drumming or mixing cocktails. She loves a classic martini (gin not vodka), especially on a Monday, she drinks about 11 cups of proper builder's tea a day, she's a Pink Floyd and Radiohead devotee and an avid collector of curious objects. You can check out her website here www.tootsievalentine.com and for a behind-the-scenes look at her practice plus some nonsensical chit-chat, you can join her on Twitter @tootsgoldsmith.
