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

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

"What a magical day! Booked this as a Christmas pressie for my husband, of course I had to tag along as well, we both loved it. Jo is a fabulous host and guide, the surroundings are so peaceful and working on the sculpture is so meditative you come away like you've been on a retreat! I would, and I have, highly recommended this to everyone I know. Thank you"

Alison Cooper reviewed: Sculpture workshop two days with Jo Garden Art in beautiful rural Norfolk/Suffolk border setting

"Wow! This is an exceptional 2 day course! As a seasoned crafter I have done a wide variety of workshops and this one has been superb. Jo is a fantastic, kind and patient tutor who guides you through the process with gentle encouragement. Both Jo & her husband Andy were constantly offering tea (much appreciated) whilst quietly tidying up and seamlessly preparing the next stage for us to do. I am totally in love with my cat sculpture and it will look amazing in my garden as a treasured centrepiece. Thank you to both Jo & Andy."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Your cat is fabulous Alison - including the long copper whiskers! We are so happy you enjoyed the two days. Enjoy seeing her in your garden. The copper finish will change with the weather which is fascinating to observe. See you again, Jo & Andy xxx "

Julia reviewed: Slate mosaic workshop at Jo Garden Art

"I went on Jo's course yesterday on my own and was made to feel very welcome. The day was well structured and great fun. I felt I'd made friends and came away with 2 lovely sculptures. I would thoroughly recommend any course with Jo."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Julia - it was a fun workshop and such a variety of slate wall sculptures made! If you wish to make a larger piece, you can on another one day workshop now you know the process. Jo x"

Valerie Chatten reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"Enjoyed a fantastic day at the Hare Sculpting Course, along with my Daughter. I was nervous at first and worried that I would make a mess of it all but the welcome and atmosphere was so lovely that I soon relaxed. All instructions and demonstrations were clear and easy to follow and we all finished up with beautiful sculptures to take home, every one of them was different, each containing our own personally chosen characteristics. I would highly recommend this course and will certainly be attending another in the future. Thank you for such an exhilarating and memorable day."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Our pleasure Valerie 😊 I appreciate many people are a little out of their comfort zone when first arriving as this workshop is a bit different than anything else! However, I've yet to have anyone go home without a fabulous hare sculpture and both of yours were lovely. It would be great to see you back here in the studio. Jo xx"
