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

Bronze clay duo 'Hare' & 'Sleeping Cat' sculpting kit
"Can't quite believe I managed to stay awake for the most exciting craft intensive day I've done in the past 15 years.
This was value for money certainly and even with a small group Jo was on her feet supporting, demonstrating, preparing from 9 through to 5 and even over lunch.
At no time did I feel out of my depth and to actually get to take home a complete finished leaping hare was mind-blowing.I felt such a sense of achievement not just for me but for everyone.Each hare was different and amazing
For anyone who thought they couldn't do that,then I would highly recommend they join one of Jo's sessions...because she makes the the unbelievable, achievable for everyone.
One shattered sculptor later....it was just so very worth it.Thanks Jo."

"Wow June - what a wonderful, heart warming review. I consider myself a 'facilitator' rather than a sculptor or artist. I believe anyone can achieve a work of art if the stages are broken down and explained. Thank you again for your kind words. Jo xx"
"Fantastic day, relaxed and comfortable environment, excellent teaching and everyone was able to achieve their goal. Would highly recommend. "

"Thank you Jill! I'm so lucky to have this studio and wonderful setting which I can share with my guests. See you next year at the slate workshop! Jo xx"
"The hare sculpture course yesterday was excellent. Each stage was explained clearly and we were directed and helped through each process. The final outcome was an original and splendid hare sculpture which will be pride of place in our homes and gardens for many years to come. Thank you so much for such a great day."

"My absolute pleasure Chrissy 🤗. Enjoy finding a special place for your hare. Jo xx"
"What a treat & a fabulous course!
Andy & Jo are super hosts & tutor & we were all made so welcome at their home & studio & beautiful garden.
The process of making your hare is so well worked & with simple & clear instruction from Jo it is a course that anyone could lend their hand to & achieve an amazing & personal sculpture at the end of a most enjoyable day.
I cannot recommend it enough 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
