Pumpkin carving with Jo Sweeting

Posted:6 September 2010

Our ‘taster day’ last Saturday was very successful.  Many thanks to all of you who visited everyone was so enthusiastic about the wide variety of workshops we’re running this autumn thanks also to those who signed up, we look forward to meeting you again!

It was a great opportunity to meet up with some of the workshop tutors, and find about more about them and their skills.

One of our favourite local artists, Jo Sweeting, was there.  Jo is a sculptor and stone-carver, working mainly in British limestone.  Her work is bold yet incredibly sensitive, and works so well in a garden setting.  Her bowl forms are particularly striking, and we also love her small pebbles, carved with hearts, feathers or letters.

Jo will be running stone-carving workshops at The Garden House in 2011 – however this autumn, I’m happy to report, she’ll be turning her skills to pumpkin carving!

The evening workshop is on Friday 22 October, go to DIARY on this website for more info…
