A man with blue eyes, wearing a cap and a tattoo on his arm, holding a tabby cat with green eyes.

If you've spent any time in the shop you've probably seen Jays felt sculptures/wood carvings of mushrooms, possums, leaves and ghosts. Jay is co-owner and manager at upon the grove. If you’ve ever wrote us on social media there’s a good chance you’ve spoken to Jay! In Jays free time he’s usually playing video games, carving, felting, or taking a walk through the forest. You will see him most days helping out at the shop or telling lame dad jokes. He may come across as shy at first, however once he gets talking, you may have a hard time getting him to stop.
