"I attended the Hare Sculpture workshop which can only be described as excellent. Jo is an amazing tutor. She prepares and delivers a well structured course, which results in everyone being able to produce an end piece which one can be proud of. In all honesty it is the best course I have ever attended. I am looking forward to booking another one of Jo’s courses in 2026. An amazingly enjoyable day. "

"Thank you Christine - very humbling when you say its the best course you have attended. Would love to see you back in the studio in 2026. Jo xx"

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

"My dad and I had an amazing day with Jo, making our hare sculptures. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for me to achieve what I did, but Jo talked us through each stage of the process, and explained everything so clearly, we both ended up with a masterpiece! Jo made us feel so welcome in her home, and the workshop is in such beautiful surroundings too. It was a truly relaxing and wonderful day and we definitely want to do another workshop! Thank you Jo "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you so much Michelle. It was lovely having you in the studio working alongside your Dad. Enjoy making the kits you took home (photos please!). Jo x"

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

"This was the third brilliant course I did with Jo. It's such a lovely relaxing yet very busy day. Working with materials that enable you to start with a wire frame and end up with a very handsome sculpture is so satisfying. Jo and Andy are always on hand to help and offer great advice. They work so hard preparing for these fabulous days. Many thanks. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Diana 🥰 Lovely to have you back in the studio. Thank you for recognising the amount of preparation we do in advance for the workshop! It's a very lovely process and satisfying to see the wonderful sculptures evolve over the day. Hope to see you back again! Jo x"

Nicky reviewed: Slate mosaic workshop at Jo Garden Art

"A brilliant one day course. Jo and Andy are so welcoming. Jo is an excellent teacher and helps to guide you to make 2 pieces of slate art that you didn't believe you were capable of at the start of the day. Can't recommend it highly enough!"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Nicky - it's such a fascinating process and truly individual to each person, which is my pleasure to be involved with. Hope to see you back in the studio. Jo xx"

Sue reviewed: Slate mosaic workshop at Jo Garden Art

"Fantastic experience in a lovely studio with Jo such a well organised day. All six crafters made the most interesting artwork. They were all very personal in design and all fantastic. Thanks to Jo who’s teaching skill and gentle assistance produces the best from everyone."

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Sue - you are so right in saying how personal and interesting each crafters work was. No two people end up with similar pieces! Hope to see you back in the studio. Jo xx"

Christine Alger reviewed: Slate mosaic workshop at Jo Garden Art

"A lovely day spent creating amazing slate art. Jo is a wonderful inspiring teacher with bags of patience! I would recommend anyone to do one of these workshops, set in beautiful surroundings in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. If you take part in a workshop, you also have the opportunity to purchase a kit to take home. They are amazing value for money. A small warning though.. one workshop is not enough, they are addictive and you will be back for more!!"

Jo Garden Art responded:

"Thank you Christine - I'm honoured you keep coming back to the studio! Have great fun with the slate kit - you took some lovely materials home and I'm sure will create a fabulous new piece for your home. See you in January! Jo xxx"

Maureen reviewed: Slate mosaic workshop at Jo Garden Art

"I have done a few courses with Jo now and her courses are among the best I have been on. Yesterday was my second slate day course so having done two small pieces I embarked on one larger piece, as always the day was very well structured and paced which made for a wonderful relaxed and enjoyable experience, with Jo’s expert guidance I ended up with a wonderfully pleasing piece of artwork to join and compliment my two smaller pieces made on the first course. As always when I have been to Jo’s there is always something to inspire so I will be back. "

Jo Garden Art responded:

"What a lovely review - thank you so much Maureen. Your slate work was wonderful and it would be great to see you back in the studio again! Jo xx"

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

"I thoroughly enjoyed making my hare with Jo, and am very proud of the final result. The class was well paced, and the process was talked through in a way we could all understand. The class size was perfect, ensuring Jo could come round and help with the different steps as needed, and we all came out at the end with a finished hare! The pre-class info and directions were also really helpful and clear, which was invaluable."
