About Jo Marsh

After qualifying in 1978 with a B.Ed Degree specialising in Dress and Textiles, Jo spent the following 8 years teaching in secondary education, first in Suffolk and then in 1984 moving to Cumbria.

In 1986 she obtained a lectureship at West Cumbria College, where she stayed as lecturer-in-charge of Fashion until 1996. Here, teaching included leisure courses in addition to City & Guilds Creative Studies Fashion. Jo also had the opportunity during this time to gain her City & Guilds Creative Studies in Embroidery Part 2 level, which she has taught since that time.

In 1996 she made the decision to leave the college and go "solo" - starting her own business in Egremont, West Cumbria.

Starting from a teaching base, the business venture has developed in a steady but gradual way, although teaching still forms the backbone of Jo´s working week. The love of sharing information with others, working with people who are inspired by fabrics and colours - and who enjoy working in a creative environment - are the main reasons for running the classes.

The business is now multi-faceted and includes teaching, dressmaking commissions, retail of dress fabrics and haberdashery & sewing machines, together with crafts and garment alterations.

Throughout her teaching career Jo has been involved in the setting and marking of public examination papers at "A" and GCSE level, working for a variety of examination boards. She continues to work for AQA in Newcastle.

After 6 years in Egremont, the business has now moved to exciting new premises in Ulverston. With more space & in comfortable surroundings of considerable character, the business will continue in its many facets. This now includes established links with Ulverston Adult Education and with Furness College. All taking place here at Unique Image- ALL UNDER ONE ROOF.
