Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck's approach to ideating and facilitating engaging workshops frequently includes a multisensorial aspect infused with enthusiasm, often beginning the session with a hot cup of organic herbal tea and a walk/breathing exercise. Through her workshops, conceptualised as calming and playful, the artist transmits skills and aims to nurture the participants while also developing their sensibilities.
the themes of Joy and Togetherness. Throughout the year, every pupil at the school, from year one through to six, participated in the project, interacting with and understanding the natural world.
Johanna founded The Gardening Drawing Club in 2021. Between Spring 2022 and November 2025, 1859 adults and children participated in the workshops she planned and facilitated via The Gardening Drawing Club. This positive community engagement project is ongoing.
While based in England, Johanna had also planned and facilitated workshops in France, Italy, Japan and Korea.
