Hello,
I just wanted to pop this into your inboxes once more <3
I’m Jo Howell, a disabled female artist and photographic experimenter based in the North East of England.
My work explores alternative photographic processes — from cyanotypes to lumen prints — using light, chemistry, and chance to create images that sit somewhere between science and art.
I’m inviting you to become part of my creative journey by joining my Patreon community. Your support helps me sustain my practice in a region where opportunities for disabled artists are limited, and where resources for traditional photographic methods are increasingly hard to find.
By subscribing, you’re not just funding my art — you’re helping me continue developing new work, teaching others about these unique photographic processes, and sharing what happens behind the scenes in my studio.

Each tier on Patreon offers something different:
- £3 per month: A simple way to show support. You’ll get regular updates from the studio and insights into my creative process.
- £9 per month: Access to behind-the-scenes content, including process videos, reflections, and early previews of new work.
- £25 per month: Includes all the above plus in-depth tutorials and step-by-step guides on alternative photographic techniques.
- £40 per month: Everything from the previous tiers, plus an hour of personal mentorship each month — ideal for artists, photographers, or anyone who wants guidance and discussion about creative development.

Every contribution helps me continue working, teaching, and sharing — and in return, you’ll be part of a creative community that values learning, experimentation, and keeping analogue processes alive.
If you’d like to support my work and be part of this journey, you can find me here:

Your support genuinely makes a difference. Thank you for helping me keep the chemistry — and the creativity — alive.
