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

"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. The hare was built in stages, Jo was on hand giving ideas and help every step of the way. Brilliant day! Thankyou Jo"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you so much Tina ?. Gorgeous hares made! Looking forward to seeing you again, Jo x"

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

"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"

"What a fantastic day......starting as a complete novice of sculpturing, to leaving with a hare to be proud of! Jo is a great teacher, and guides you every step of the way, along with plenty of refreshments and fun. Working from her lovely workshop, the day flies by, as you complete each step of building the model. Thoroughly recommended and great value for money....loved it so much I've booked a 2-day course for a bigger sculpture :)"

"Thank you Angie ?. As you say, the day goes by so quickly! Looking forward to seeing you later in the year on the two day workshop ?. Jo x"

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

"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"

"My husband and I attended this fantastic workshop on Sunday 1 May and we both had a fabulous time. Jo is an attentive, friendly and extremely well organised host.

We would highly recommend this unique experience."

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

"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!!"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you so much Angela ? Your running hare was fab and I understand took a tour to your local pub for much deserved praise! Enjoy creating the kit you took home as well ? Jo x"

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

"I can’t recommend Jo’s course highly enough. We had a fabulous weekend in Jo’s beautiful studio. I was a little nervous being a complete novice but this is such well thought through course. Jo manages that perfect balance of expertise, with perfectly timed gentle nudges in the right direction, and freedom to create. Andy provided the armature cores which provide the perfect start. I am just so proud of my dog. He makes me smile every time I look at him and am so looking forward to trying out my hare and person kits - although I’ll give my hands a little rest first ! Thank you for a very special weekend Jo and Andy."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Clare - I fell in love with your dog sculpture and am planning my own version in memory of a four legged friend from long ago ?. Enjoy making the kits! Jo xx"
