# Maverickart & Jo Howell Photography
Maverickart & Jo Howell Photography is an independent creative practice based in Sunderland specialising in alternative and experimental photographic processes. The business is centred around cyanotype—a historic photographic technique that produces distinctive blue-toned prints—exploring this medium across unconventional materials including glass, ceramics, and textiles.
Jo Howell operates as both artist and educator, creating original artwork whilst sharing detailed technical knowledge through extensive blog content and tutorials. The practice demonstrates a commitment to slow, intentional art-making that prioritises experimentation and embraces imperfection as integral to the creative process. Rather than pursuing commercial shortcuts, the artist advocates for independent creative practice and sustainability within the arts sector.
The business serves artists, photographers, and creative practitioners seeking to expand their technical skills and explore alternative processes beyond conventional digital photography. It appeals to those interested in material experimentation, sustainable creative practice, and the intersection of traditional techniques with contemporary artistic vision.
What sets Maverickart apart is its uncompromising focus on craft mastery and educational generosity. Through detailed documentation of cyanotype applications—from botanical specimens to walking-based practice—the business positions itself as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to move beyond standard photographic methods. The Patreon model enables direct support for independent artistic practice, reflecting the artist's advocacy for properly valuing creative work.
