Joanna Sheen

Joanna Sheen set up her pressed flower company in 1979 and has written over 30 books on crafts and flowers during the past 20 years. She is best known for her work on TV with card-making and pressed flowercraft programmes. She lives in Devon with her partner Richard and youngest daughter Emily.

She has sold pictures to many of the major stores in London, New York, Tokyo, Australia and other countries in Europe. There is still a limited picture production that is distributed to several special outlets like The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall and Kew Gardens in London. Teaching comes naturally to Joanna Sheen and she began her craft school in the UK some 17 years ago. She also runs the Joanna Sheen Flower School based in Osaka and has special teachers who are spread across Japan.

Currently, Joanna focuses primarily on card-making and spends much of her time working with the Ideal World Shopping Channel and their sister channel Create and Craft. Joanna Sheen CDs and rubber stamps using traditional designs and patterns are among the best in quality. The stamps are unmounted so they take up much less storage space and are good value for money.
