Maker's bio

Welcome 😃 I'm Jo Garden. I call myself a 'facilitator' as my joy is enabling people of any skill to achieve something they did not expect, plus have time away from the everyday stresses of normal life. My sculpture & slate mosaic workshops are broken down into small stages which result in amazing sculptures and works of art regardless of your artistic ability (honestly). If you purchase a kit, there is a full length video of me making the sculpture which you can watch as many times as you wish. If attending a workshop, my peaceful studio is tucked into the garden surrounded by trees and wildlife making it a very tranquil and stress busting. I run several workshops a month but am often booked up for months in advance. If you book a long way in the future, I do make contact if I have cancellations and can move you forward. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions. Jo x

Julia Hawkins reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"We did the Hare sculpture workshop yesterday and had a great day. Jo was really good at explaining each step, on hand if help was needed but let you do your own thing as well. Very hospitable, we were looked after very well all day long. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere, we all interacted with each other and all made a variety of different hares. Would absolutely recommend doing this with friends or family as a treat . "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Julia - guests are always so friendly, I think it's because we all enjoy crafting! Lovely range of hares made over the day 🤗 Jo xx"

Sue M reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"I went on the one day Hare Sculpture workshop towards the end of March '24. It was really well organised and Jo was brilliant at helping and guiding everyone throughout the day. I was really pleased with my Hare, the sculpting technique is really simple but also very flexible and everyone's Hare came out as a unique piece. The location is lovely, the workroom is really bright and there is plenty of space. Jo has lots of example pieces so you can see how your Hare will look if you adjust the 'posture'. It is a very busy day with lots of stages to work through, but it's not too intense so it's still fun. I hope to go back again and make more sculptures or buy some kits and try to replicate at home."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Sue! I love how each hare ends up so individual despite the same starting point, materials and instructions. Just goes to show how each of us interprets processes differently! I look forward to seeing you again, Jo xxx"

Lois Buckley reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"My daughter and I had a wonderful day together making hare sculptures. We both felt that Jo was a marvellous tutor and nothing was too much trouble for her in explanations and hands on help where required. She was so generous in every way and nothing was missing. Her attention to detail in what was required was amazing even down to the little pots of paint to go home with. A really memorable day and the sun shone on the lovely grounds too. !! "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Lois 😊 I enjoy the little details! It takes me several days to pull together everything for the workshops and filling the goodie bags is my last task 🤗. so glad you both enjoyed the day. Jo xx"
