WELCOME TOJill Margo Studio
I'm a writer, place-based maker, and creative practice guide
My work is rooted in attention, care, relationality, and the seasons.
Whether I'm writing, supporting writers and artists, or creating pressed flower work, I'm interested in the same questions:
How do we pay attention?
How do we stay in relationship?
How do we care for what matters?
How do we honour the season we're actually in?
Writing remains at the centre of my creative life, though most of my current work is growing quietly in the background.
Here you can find the most visible expression of my work through two interconnected pathways: The Commons and The Herbarium.
The Commons
Creative practice for humans with feelings, seasons, and limits
Through small groups, one-on-one support, and resources, The Commons helps writers and artists build creative practices that can move with changing conditions, fluctuating capacity, and real life.
The Herbarium
Beauty as a harvest of attention
Through pressed flora prints inspired by plant encounters near home, The Herbarium invites a little of the outside in.
MY SUBSTACKOver
Here
A seasonal publication of essays, nature notes, and small rebellions against productivity culture.
Eight times a year, I’ll send you ordinary life rendered with attention, encounters with the living world, and humane alternatives to some of the ways we’ve been told we’re supposed to work and live.
