"Jo is an excellent teacher and very generously shared her knowledge with us. There were 14 in the course, 12 making deers and 2 of us making pigs, it was very well prepared and structured. All the sculptures looked amazing on the stage for the group photo at the end. Great day, thank you Jo."

Becci landrock reviewed: Willow Deer or Pig at Merriott Social Venue

"Oh my goodness my deer in my garden looks amazing. Jo is such a fantastic teacher you cannot go wrong. All 12 of us produced tremendous deers. One lady returned to make a grazing deer. Love the day so much I need to book again. It was a present for me from my children so wasn’t sure what to expect but believe me I wasn’t disappointed. Highly recommended for any one, have a go. "

Jo Sadler at Forged n Willow responded:

"Aw thank you so much Becci, it was a very creative day and such well woven Deer. Great harmony in the group which felt intimate even though there were 12 !The Swannery Stufio was very calming and gave everyone that escape from the day to day.Thank your gifters, your company was lovely 😊😊"
