Janet McNamee graduated in Fine Art at Ulster University and then spent many happy years working in the Irish Linen Museum and the Ulster Folk Museum, giving talks and craft workshops on all aspects of Irish linen production. She then worked as an interior designer for IKEA, helping to plan and style their first store in Ireland.

In 2010 Janet set up a small independent screenprint studio, Jupiter Red, creating colourful handprinted patterns on pure Irish linen. The idea behind Jupiter Red was very simple – to create a range of durable, colourful everyday linens with a commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability.
