With a background in design and over seven years of sculpting experience, Barbara has crafted a workshop experience that feels genuinely different: thoughtful, welcoming, and full of heart.Whether you're gathering with coworkers, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for a creative outlet, The Art Garden Studio offers something truly special -- a chance to slow down, make something beautiful with your hands, and connect with the people around you. With more than 100 workshops under their belt, they've turned the simple act of making art into something people carry with them long after the clay has dried!
