WHAT WE DO:
Making with the Seasons
We work with our hands. We notice what’s happening in nature. We explore traditional practices through grounded observation and slow making - not outcomes, just the practice itself.

Hello, I’m Jane.
I created Snapdragon Life after burnout forced me to rethink how I worked, created, and lived.
What I learned: creativity isn’t another thing to achieve. It’s a way of being in the world - making, gathering, noticing. Working with your hands. Following the seasons. Reconnecting with practices that sustained women for generations.
Now I share what I’ve learned through The Studio, courses, and these weekly letters. If you’re craving a slower, more rooted creative life, this might be where you begin.

I’m 61, and Snapdragon helped me realise that my life isn’t done—I don’t have to settle. There’s still so much I want to do, and I’m finally doing it.
