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

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

"I loved attending this course and to able to bring my finished happy leaping hare home to keep and treasure. A small group meant that Jo was able to give us all personal attention. Jo was very welcoming into her lovely home and garden and it meant we had a lovely setting when sat in the studio. "

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

"Thoroughly enjoyed our day making hares. Opted for the medium hare and was delighted with the result. Jo is a great tutor, the day was very informative and good fun too. Would recommend this course to anyone, whether you have experience or not."

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

"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."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"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"
