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

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

"My friend Sally and I had a wonderful day on Jo’s one day hare sculpting course. Jo, her husband Andy and pooches gave us a warm welcome before we ventured over to the studio located in their beautiful garden meadow. Jo’s tuition was faultless, the whole day was well organised and paced perfectly. Both Jo (and later in the day) Andy were on hand, attentive but not in an intrusive way knowing when to step in and offer help when needed. With a little help from them both I managed to create an adorable hare. There were plenty of refreshments to keep us going 😊 I can honestly say this is the best creative course I have ever attended and I’ve been on a few! Lovely hosts, great fellow students with plenty of laughs and to top it off glorious weather. Sally and I are already planning to do a 2 day course when one becomes available. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Debbie! Both my workshops over the weekend enjoyed the long awaited sunshine which was blissful. We are so glad you loved the day and look forward to welcoming you back in the future, Jo xx"

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

"My husband Chris and I did this fabulous course on 12 May. Jo and Andy made us all so welcome - (as did the 2 lovely friendly cockapoos!) We learnt so much during the day but it was still relaxed and fun. We now have a pair of medium sized hares that will go outdoors in a few days. Jo explained and demonstrated each step of the process fully and was always available to offer advice and help whenever needed. It's a fascinating thing to do, and so satisfying to come home with a beautiful item that you have made! I'd love to do a 2 day course but will have to wait until a space next year as all courses are very popular. It was a lovely group of people, the weather was perfect, Jo and Andy's garden is super and a great showplace for examples of Jo's work too. We were kept well refreshed too! Thank you Jo and Andy - and the group for a smashing day we'll remember for a long while. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Our pleasure Diana. It was lovely having you and Chris in the studio. Your hares were fabulous and will enjoy their time sitting together in your garden. How wonderful to have good weather at long last! To be able to sit the hares outside during lunch so the new plaster could dry in the sunshine was bliss! Hope to see you back in the studio, Jo xx"

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

"Had a great time making the medium hare. I chose to have the ‘scratching ear’ pose. Jo was a great teacher and everything was explained clearly, and, of course, she was there to help with problems that arose and give advice. Every part of the process was enjoyable. Andy came to the rescue when it got hectic with the plaster……he also makes a good cuppa! A lovely way to spend the day. (I have been studying my hare today, he may not be perfect but every time I look at him I love him a little bit more)"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Lynne - your ear scratching hare was lovely and will be a great talking point when placed in your garden. Each hare is soooo different! Andy is my rock during that busy 'pinch time' in the middle of the day 😊. Jo xx"

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

"I did the Hare sculpture course yesterday with Jo, I have to say it was the most fabulously enjoyable day I’ve had in a long while. Everything about it was great, we had a group of 7 people and Jo helped everyone with the help of husband Andy who kept us topped up with material’s. It was a busy day, but not to full on, plenty of time for tea/coffee, biscuits and cuddles with the adorable dogs. I would absolutely recommend it and actually would love to do it again."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Julia! Lovely day with lovely people - our cockapoo's Mia & Tula particularly enjoyed the cuddles. Would love to see you back in the studio! Jo xx"
