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

Helen Garwood reviewed: Large outdoor plaster hare sculpture kit

"My daughter bought me the large hare kit for mothers day. It was the most perfect gift! Everything I needed to create a glorious hare, who now sits proudly in my garden. Jo's instructions were very clear and easy to follow and her after sale service is excellent. I made my hare over a weekend, I loved how you could shape it to your own preferred stance, and so make something truly your own. Absolutely wonderful!"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you so much Helen! Your lovely hare sat in your garden for 4 years before a small accident - now lovingly restored by yourself back to former glory! Well done 🤗🙌 Jo x"

Celia Perez Mourin reviewed: Hare Sculpture workshop with Jo Garden Art in beautiful Norfolk/Suffolk

"An excellent course, Jo is a patient and supportive tutor and artist. The setting is superb and inspirational. The course very well planned out, well spaced, and resourced, with plenty of tea & choc biscuits thrown in. We all ended up with work which we could gladly claim as our work and display with pride in our homes. This is my 2nd course with Jo, my first was her excellent Slate Mossaic course. I will be back to add to the hare family. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Celia! Lovely to have you back in the studio 🤗. This was quite a different type of workshop to the Slate one, but so glad you enjoyed the day and went away with your lovely hare. I look forward to having you back so you can create your leveret! Jo xx"

Pippa reviewed: Small human sculpture kit (30cm)

"Such prompt and courteous service! Personal communication with the seller was received soon after the order was placed. The package arrived quickly and was well presented. I love the accompanying video, which makes everything so clear and easy to follow! This is a gift for my 16 year old art-loving grandson to work on post GCSEs. I think he will love it!"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to write a review Pippa. I'm sure your grandson will really enjoy making his human! Jo x"

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

"Fabulous day with Jo in her beautiful, peaceful studio and garden. There was a lot to fit into the day but everything was explained and modelled so we were all able to keep up. What is great is that someone with zilch artistic talent (and I'm not being modest) can produce an impressive hare to take home. I went for a medium sized one and I'm looking forward to putting him in amongst my roses in the gardens. I'll definitely be back to make a little friend for him. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you so much Maureen - I would definitely say you have artistic flair - it just needed a way to express itself, which you absolutely did! So glad you enjoyed the day and I'm sure your hare will enjoy it's place in your roses. See you again to make a friend, Jo x"
