"If you are wanting an amazing gift Jo's hare sculpture course is perfect. Jo is an amazing lady, very generous with her time and knowledge. The studio is in the garden with inspirational sculptures dotted around. A small group making it really lovely for a group to gel.

"Jo & Andrew are so welcoming. The surroundings were beautiful, time flew and I got lost in the day. Would go again. Jo gave us all individual attention and the statue I made looks stunning."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Mike - one of my favourite comments is when people say they become absorbed into the craft - or as you put it, got lost in the day. Switching off from everyday life is so important and to go home with a lovely sculpture is the bonus! Jo x"

"Oh my goodness what an amazing day. I attended the one day workshop on Saturday 14 May with a friend. We had treated ourselves as a joint birthday treat. Travelling from the Midlands we were worried if it was worth it but wow it was. Jo was so welcoming, informative and joyous. I’ve done many a crafting course but this was the best. We loved every minute and left with a hare sculpture to be proud of. Thank you Jo."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Sharon - so glad it was worth the journey and thank you for sending a photo of your lovely hare already sitting in your flower bed ?. It was worth doing the medium upgrade so he could see over the gorgeous flowers ?. Jo x"

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

"Wow what a wonderful day I had! I attended a one day workshop in April with 3 friends and enjoyed every minute. Jo's studio and garden are delightful, the perfect setting to feel inspired. The day was so relaxing, Jo took us through every stage with easy to follow instructions and plenty of time to complete each task. She was there all the time to assist us and kept us going with numerous cups of tea, chocolate biscuits and encouragement. At the end of a creative day we all had a completed hare to take home, each one unique and special to us. Thank you Jo I would love to come back and make a big hare."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Diana - it was lovely having your group in the studio; lots of banter and laughter. Everyone made such individual hares ?. It would be lovely to have you back to make a bigger one! Jo x"

"I spent a fabulous Easter Monday with Jo and a lovely group of ladies learning a new skill… I never would have imagined being capable of unleashing my inner creativity and going home at the end of a fun day the proud owner of a running hare! Jo (and her husband) were the perfect hosts and Jo is a highly skilled teacher of her art, making each of the steps involved in making the sculptures easy to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone of any age who wants to spend a lovely day in beautiful surroundings learning to create something original and beautiful ? Thank you Jo!!"
