Hi I am a self taught willow artist and live in Somerset, surrounded by willow! I make all sorts of commission pieces and you can see my work at The Swannery, Abbotsbury . I run willow sculpture workshops at Studi0ne,Bridport,River Cottage & Symondsbury Estate,The David Hall,South Petherton, Cottage Flowers, Jordans Courtyard, Flowerdew Farm, and Musgroves Willow located in Dorset, Devon and Somerset. From hares to deer, pigs, bees, dragonfly and flying owls, Christmas wreaths, to name a few! I can also come to you if you can get 8 people together-local village hall.....
"Another brilliant day with Jo. She's a really good tutor. She gives clear instructions all the way along and will offer help if needed. She's also there quickly if you lose confidence. Jo is also just a really nice, warm person. Never worked with willow before then. Try a class with Jo... but be careful you are very likely to get the bug and be making many, many more things. Thank you JO for another really exciting day."
Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:
"Thank you Jacky, you are very kind and always a joy to work with. We've made a few pieces between us over the years and your crane was beautiful. The willow works well in your hands and I do enjoy our banter. I'm smiling now!
Kind regards Jo ✨️ "
"Extremely good course - it was well led by an instructor who knew her craft. Thank-you I love my deer who now takes pride of place in my garden. Will attend more courses in the future."
Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:
"Thank you June, I enjoyed the class a lot. Great atmosphere and outcomes. Jo😊"
"Jo, has a warm welcoming manner and is very accommodating of everybody's needs. She is clearly a very experienced crafts woman, so is able to work willow expertly and consequently she can solve any problems the leaners have when making. She leads the course at pace through the day and it's a busy day that is fun and completely absorbing, but still with time for a cuppa and a laugh. If you are a novice or expert , you will come away with a sculpture to be proud of"
Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:
"Thank you so much, Karen, that's very kind. It was a good day of making and super sculptures!!"
"Thoroughly enjoyed this course, it was a fabulous day, Jo was a great teacher who gave simple step by step instructions to cater for all levels of ability with lots of encouragement. I am not a crafter, but absolutely thrilled with the deer sculptures we created. I would highly recommend this course, it was excellent."
