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

"I attended the Hare Sculpture workshop which can only be described as excellent.
Jo is an amazing tutor. She prepares and delivers a well structured course, which results in everyone being able to produce an end piece which one can be proud of.
In all honesty it is the best course I have ever attended.
I am looking forward to booking another one of Jo’s courses in 2026.
An amazingly enjoyable day. "

"Thank you Christine - very humbling when you say its the best course you have attended. Would love to see you back in the studio in 2026. Jo xx"
"My dad and I had an amazing day with Jo, making our hare sculptures. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for me to achieve what I did, but Jo talked us through each stage of the process, and explained everything so clearly, we both ended up with a masterpiece! Jo made us feel so welcome in her home, and the workshop is in such beautiful surroundings too. It was a truly relaxing and wonderful day and we definitely want to do another workshop! Thank you Jo "

"Thank you so much Michelle. It was lovely having you in the studio working alongside your Dad. Enjoy making the kits you took home (photos please!). Jo x"
"This was the third brilliant course I did with Jo. It's such a lovely relaxing yet very busy day. Working with materials that enable you to start with a wire frame and end up with a very handsome sculpture is so satisfying.
Jo and Andy are always on hand to help and offer great advice. They work so hard preparing for these fabulous days. Many thanks. "

This was my 3rd workshop at her lovely studio.
Absolutely love my hare sculpture.
Such a good facilitator, and everyone's sculptures were different and amazing.
